DONATE NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS & HELP
FIGHT HUNGER FOR NEEDY FAMILY’S!

Yorkgate Mall in partnership with The Downsview Advocate officially held its 2nd Annual Fighting Hunger - Food Drive in support of North York Harvest Food Bank.

Visitors to Yorkgate Mall were asked to help fill a food donation bin, with much-needed non-perishable food items. Everyone who donated received a FREE Yorkgate Mall Holiday pen.

“We are overwhelmed with the support from the community, our retailers and corporate sponsors,” says Chris Couch, Marketing Associate at Yorkgate Mall. “Our shoppers have a history of generously getting behind our community programs. The donations collected, will help fight hunger, and feed as many needy individuals and families in our community as possible”.

Non-perishable food items collected during the drive included needed: rice, dried pasta, tomato sauce, cereal, soups, stews, peanut butter, and various other items. North York Harvest Food Bank will distribute the donations collected.

Yorkgate Mall, located at Jane and Finch in Toronto, Ontario, offers over 60 stores and services under one roof including No Frills, LCBO, IDA Drug Mart and Toronto Public Library.
