Another Voice of Support

Hi Wendy,

I had a wonderful day on the truck with Blaine. It was very rewarding and eye opening. You don't always realize the depth and breadth of need for food in Toronto, but the 6 stops we made that day helped me gain a better understanding of the types of agencies and groups and individuals that Second Harvest is helping. While I enjoyed the day, it also made me realize how fortunate I am and have been. I think everyone should do this at least once.

I intend to do it again in the coming year - more than once. I will be in touch when I have some dates determined. I'd like to do a couple of weekdays to be able to see the agencies in the downtown core that Second Harvest supports.

I’m not sure if I can do this over email, but I'd also like to increase my monthly donation. I can see that it takes a huge amount of funding just to keep the trucks fuelled and running smoothly. We were in one of the new trucks - what a generous, worthwhile donation. (No problems getting up and down at the back.)

Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer with Second Harvest. I'll be back!

Kind Regards,

Janice Baker
