Gift Of Food!

As tens of thousands of Canadians have gathered over the past two weekends to celebrate Vaisakhi, Peel-based charity, Clubhouse Charities, has lead an effort to collect an abundance of food donations for Seva Food Bank. During the last weekend of April and the first weekend of May, the Sikh community across the GTA held two Khalsa Day processions. The first was held in downtown Toronto and the second from Malton to Rexdale. As in previous years, hundreds of volunteers cooked and served free food of all types to attendees. To ensure that the leftover food wasn’t wasted, Clubhouse Charities collected all food left over from the parade food stalls and donated it to Seva Food Bank. Launched in 2010, the Seva Food Bank provides safe, nutritious and culturally appropriate food to low-income families living in Mississauga through their Wolfedale Road and Slough Street (Malton) locations. It is an initiative of Sikhs Serving Canada, a registered charitable not-for-profit organization.
