For every $1 donation the Community Food Sharing Association (CFSA) is able to acquire and distribute $47 worth of food to families in need! We applaud the work of the CFSA as they continuously work diligently to support our communities. The CFSA relies heavily on donations from provincial and national organizations, and especially now more than ever, as we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019 the Teamsters Canada Foundation was created to raise funds and help support Canadians in need by donating to charities coast-to-coast across Canada. On July 10th, Teamster members Brandon Hiscock (Construction Division), Roger Spracklin (Local 855 Business Agent), and Trish Knight (Teamsters Canada Foundation) visited Ed Walters and Tina Bishop with the CFSA to present a $4,000.00 donation on behalf of the Foundation – that’s equivalent to a whopping $188,000.00 worth of food!
Teamsters Canada National President, Francois Laporte was not available for the presentation, but does send well wishes to the CFSA and says “we thank-you for your help and dedication to so many families. We are proud to partner with your organization, and we salute your commitment”.
