Crave is proud to participate in running a food drive for “The Stop Community Center”, in an attempt to move our society towards a healthier future. ”The Stop” is a food center that serves low-income, homeless or marginally housed and socially isolated community members who live between Bloor Street (south), St. Clair Avenue (north), Dovercourt Road (east) and Runnymede Road (west). These different groups are brought together by a lack of adequate income with which to purchase nutritious food that ensures good health. For example, the median after-rent income per person per day for our community members is $5.80 and 66% of our participants report that they have no money left for food or any other expense after they have paid rent. The Stop is a critical resource for many of the most vulnerable people in our community.
We are kindly asking anyone who is interested in donating any of the items on the wish list (on the back of the flyer), to give Salma Hamidi or Sharaf Malik a call and they will conveniently arrange a time for the donations to be picked up by our volunteers. We thank you in advance for your support. The list and receipt of donations will be available on Crave’s facebook page and website.
The last day for donations is November 10. Let’s share what we’ve all been
blessed with and make a difference
