Starbucks Lunch

I’d to give a big thank you to Sam and all the Starbucks employees at the 110 Bloor West location near Avenue Road. Their assistance and enthusiasm really helped make our Lunch Money Day collection drive a success. Our table was strategically placed near the line-up so patrons had to at least hear what the two people wearing chef hats had to say about supporting Second Harvest. It also helped that we gave away hors d’oevres sized sample sandwiches which hopefully stimulated some sandwich sales for Starbucks.By the way, I personally recommend the Madagascar Chicken.

Subway Lunch Money

I arrived at Sheppard subway station at 6:15 in the morning to put up some posters and set up the Lunch Money Day drive. I couldn’t believe how many commuters were up at that hour. Kudos to the work ethic of the early risers and kudos to all the commuters who stopped their rush to work and donated some money to Second Harvest’s Lunch Money Day campaign. We received $19,082.86 from TTC riders!
