Souper Bowl Sunday

Eden Community Food Bank is inviting your church or faith group to team up to tackle hunger in their Fifth Annual “Souper Bowl Sunday” event on Sunday, February 6th, 2011.

On the same day that many of us will consume too much food and spend so much money on the NFL Super Bowl, the food bank is asking people to think of those less fortunate in our community. Participating churches and faith groups will ask their members to bring a food and/or financial donation  with them on Sunday, February 6th for Eden Community Food Bank. Help is needed and it makes a difference!

Every 20 lbs of food collected will help to provide emergency food relief for one person for seven to ten days. Every $10 donation will help the food bank purchase up to $100 worth of food for hungry families in our community.  For more information on ECFB’s Souper Bowl Sunday and to register your church or faith group to participate, please contact Bill Crawford at 905-785-3651 x4 or bill.crawford@edenfoodbank.org.

In an effort to help The Mississauga Food Bank meets its food distribution costs this year Trinity Boutique and The Mississauga Food Bank are kicking off a sales drive donation campaign on Thursday February 17th at 1pm. Meghan Nicholls, Director of Marketing & Fund Development will be visiting Trinity Boutique to officially start the drive. 10% of all sales for the months of March and April of formal communion dresses and suits sold will be donated to The Mississauga Food Bank. If your child is celebrating a communion this year please drop by and visit our store and help The Mississauga Food Bank – 25 years of Fighting Hunger and Feeding Hope.

Each month, The Mississauga Food Bank holds a Food for Thought event. This is a 1 hour information session designed to introduce people from the community to The Mississauga Food Bank. These events are held on a Wednesday evening. Starting promptly at 6:00pm and ending at 7:00pm following a tour of the facility.

This is an excellent means to gain insight into the impact The Mississauga Food Bank has in your community and is definitely an hour well spent!
