CBC Make the Season Kind 2024
December 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024
Join us as we partner with CBC and their annual celebration of community and kindness, Make the Season Kind, in support of food banks across Ontario.
CBC hosts this fundraising and food raising campaign each year in the month of December. Since 2002, CBC Make the Season Kind has raised over $11 million in support of GTA and Ontario food banks. Click here to learn more.
As the demand for food banks is increasing at an alarming rate across Ontario, support Feed Ontario through the CBC Make the Season Kind 2024 campaign to make this a memorable holiday for families facing hunger.
Your support today will ensure that families experiencing hunger can access nutritious food this holiday season.
