We’re excited to announce that Burlington 365 is partnering with local entrepreneur and philanthropist Shaheryar Mian on a special Christmas Food Drive in support of the Burlington Food Bank.

This initiative comes at a critical time when, according to Canada's Hunger Crisis Report, food banks across the country have experienced over 2 million monthly visits this year — the highest in history. Together, we want to help ensure that families in our community have access to the food they need during this holiday season. With the demand for food assistance rising, we’re calling on the generous hearts of Burlington and the surrounding area to lend a hand by donating essential food and personal care items. Here’s what’s most needed:

• Cereal (hot and cold varieties)

• Large soup cans

• Juice (boxes and 1-litre cartons)

• Granola bars (peanut-free)

• Peanut butter

• Crackers

• Canned fruit

• Canned tomatoes

• Canned vegetables

• Canned meat

• Legumes

• Pasta sauce

• Personal hygiene products

Donations can be delivered to WorkWell Coworking Space at 901 Guelph Line, Burlington between 9am - 4pm until December 17th.

Whether you’re contributing a single item or a box of supplies, every bit helps to make the season brighter for those in need. With your support, we can help ensure that everyone in our community has food on their table this holiday season. Thank you for helping us make a difference, and thank you to our partners in this effort: Shaheryar Mian, WorkWell Spaces, Next Rock Organizing, and Burlington Food Bank.
