On Volunteer Corner, Glen talks to two champions - Margaret Hopkins and Eleanor Huber. Their help for the food bank has been stellar but it's in their efforts for the Old South community and Wortley Village that their influence has been truly amazing. youtu.be/N3MwJQAGlIU

London is a little sadder today. We feel the dimming not in the headlines, but in the quiet rooms where Bill Brady's influence once lived. And what remains is the gentle obligation to carry a bit of his brightness forward.” #LdnOnt @grief

What a kickoff to the Tim Horton's Smile Cookie campaign for the London Food Bank. It's a big thing for us given the increase in demand. So many great folks took part and the staff of Tim's was terrific. . Buy a cookie and help out if you can. youtu.be/3qKF6q1XLJ0 #LdnOnt

Agree 100%. Their influence in #Sudan is more than alarming. It's criminal. The PM needs to tread carefully and speak up while he's at it.

The great paradox of public life is that when governments retreat, non-profits quietly advance. They absorb the shock of unjust cuts with a steadiness rooted not in budgets but in moral conviction. They become the humanitarian reach of government - its last remaining hope.

Vital days ahead for London Food Bank πŸ₯«πŸŽπŸžπŸ₯š With so many groups asking for assistance, added to the 40+ agencies we already assist, it's clear our community is n a food insecurity crisis. The food bank board is already hard at work discerning how to respond. Help if you can.

Literally 1000s of citizens will cooperate with Business Cares this weekend to help London Food Bank πŸ₯«πŸŽπŸžπŸ₯š . Last year, almost 200,000 lbs of food ad hundreds of thousands of dollars came in over the weekend. It will be the unfolding of citizenship and it will be a beautiful thing.
