Representatives from the store in the Amherst Centre mall presented $1,750 in gift cards to Rev. Charlotte Ross, representing the Amherst Food Assistance Network.
“The winter months are the busiest time of the year for food banks across the country,” store manager Jennifer Pieroway said. “Keeping true to Giant Tiger’s grassroots community initiatives, we want to make sure local food banks are fully stocked to ensure that every person and family receive the support they need.”
More than $40,000 is being presented to community organizations by Giant Tiger stores across Canada.
According to Food Banks Canada, 13 per cent of Canadians live in a state of food uncertainty, which means they do not have dependable access to adequate amounts of safe, nutritious food. Each month, more than 850,000 people turn to food banks for help. More than a third of them are children and youth.
“Donating to food banks is just one of the community initiatives we do at Giant Tiger,” company vice-president, marketing, Karen Sterling said. “We’re especially proud of the local impact our donations have in each community.”
