Sunday morning, July 12 - the Rotary Club of Toronto Sunrise and Friends prepared over 100 nutritious meals for our homeless neighbors at the Fort York Food Bank. And as we always do, we enjoyed each others' company and had a lot of fun doing this! Tuna sandwiches, salad and fresh fruit - apples or oranges - today. Good food for a hot day!
Thanks to everyone who volunteered, including in addition to Rotary Toronto Sunrise members, Owyn from FYFB, Brenda's friend Lori from Niagara Falls, Mal and team from the Rotaract D7070 E-Club, and the folks from Rotaract Toronto. Big thanks to Blackbird Baking Co for the bread, and to all FYFB's food donors. And Bruce for the emergency mayonnaise and salad dressing run...
This is an AMAZING way to spend a Sunday morning - a lot of fun and working with others who share our desire to help our less fortunate neighbors. We always leave feeling tired but very good about what we've done.
We would love for you to join us! We do this the second Sunday of every month, from 9:00am - 1:00pm or any part of that you can offer. No cooking skills required! The Fort York Food Bank is at 380 College Street, at Borden. There's a TTC streetcar stop on the 506 Carlton right at Borden, and it's only 2 blocks from the 511 Bathurst streetcar at College. And there is free street parking (yes, in Toronto!) on College Sunday mornings until 1:00pm. We welcome anyone interested to come and experience the fun, and find out more about the Fort York Food Bank and about Rotary - please contact Bruce Stewart at info@rotarytyorontosunrise.com or by text to 416.452.2449 - thanks!
