A few members of the Canadian Arctic Producers and Arctic Co-operatives Limited team recently joined volunteers from Baffinland Iron Mines, Egg Farmers of Canada, and many other organizations at Food Banks Canada's After the Bell packing event.
Over four shifts across two days, volunteers packed 220,000 hampers for school-aged children, helping support families and communities from coast to coast to coast.
It was inspiring to work alongside so many dedicated volunteers, including fellow co-operative Gay Lea Foods Co-operative Ltd., all coming together to make a meaningful impact.
Thank you to Food Banks Canada for organizing this important initiative and to everyone who contributed their time and energy.
