Daily Bread Food Bank’s Thanksgiving Day drive is short of around $350,000 and 300,000 pounds of food.

Although the food drive is facing some tough challenges, Rev. Helena Houldcroft said it has been a “historic” year due to the cooperation between the Sunni and Ismaili Muslim communities, who are working together for the first time.
Houldcroft, who is an Anglican priest, said the experience of working with different faiths to help out the hungry has been “fantastic.”
“We’ve always had a really good relationship, and it’s just getting stronger,” Houldcroft said.
Food donations can be dropped off at any Metro store or fire hall in the GTA. Donors can visit www.dailybread.ca or call 416-203-0050. The food bank phone line will be open Monday.
