Sending warm wishes for a joyful holiday season.

We are donating to City Harvest in New York City and The Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto this year.

Food insecurity, due to rising costs and insufficient incomes, has resulted in a growing need to support those who are hungry. The facts are significant and distressing. In NYC, average monthly visits to soup kitchens and food pantries are up 60% compared to pre-pandemic levels.[i] In Toronto, one in ten people now rely on food banks, twice as many as the previous year.[ii]

We must help.
