The charity Food for Life has received a $35,000 donation from the Rotary Clubs of Oakville and Oakville West.
The cheque was presented to Food for Life director of resource development Meaghan Richardson at a dinner meeting held at the Oakville Golf Club on Monday, Oct. 21.
The money was raised primarily through the two clubs’ Rotary Golf to Give tournament, which was recently held at Piper’s Heath Golf Club.
Food for Life collects surplus perishable food from grocery stores, restaurants and the corporate food sector and distributes the products to those in need.
“With Food for Life making every $10 donation turn into $63.70 worth of good food, Rotarians are excited that this donation will magnify through Food for Life’s resourcefulness to help those in need in Oakville/Halton,” said Rotary Golf committee chair Bob Miskelly.
Richardson said Food for Life is incredibly grateful for the rotary clubs’ tremendous support.
“This funding comes at a time where we see food insecurity rates rising significantly, across Oakville and Halton Region,” she said.
“With every $10 donated, we are able to provide $63.70 worth of food and groceries — meaning that this donation will bring over $222,000 worth of healthy fresh food to the over 4,000 households we support each week. This donation will truly rescue food and impact lives.”
Organizers said that since 1995, Food for Life has rescued more than 26 million pounds of food and is the largest food rescue organization in Halton and Hamilton.
The charity employs 22-full-time staff and around 400 volunteers.
