Willowdale in the '70s family - thank you for joining us! We proudly support the work of NeighbourLink North York, in particular their food programs which includes their food hub, which provides dignified access to healthy food, including fresh produce, dairy, eggs and meat, their mobile food distribution, which delivers food hampers to seniors, and people with disabilities who are facing food insecurity and community navigators programs, where neighbours support neighbours in getting further supports in the community. Established in 1994, NeighbourLink North York is a registered charity that seeks to alleviate poverty and social isolation in our beloved community. (All Canadian donations will receive a tax receipt. Click Here to view the 2023 Annual Report.) Wow! Willowdalers helping Willowdalers! What could be better than that?!

A Huge Thank You!

 

We are so grateful to all of the Willowdale in 70s members who raised nearly $17K toward our our 75K Year End Goal last year! It was remarkable to see the love you all have for this neighbourhood, and your contributions went a long way toward supporting 150 households each month!

​

This Years Campaign

​

For NeighbourLink to be sustainable in 2025 and continue supporting families, single moms, seniors, under-resourced youth and newcomers we must raise 90K.

​

Recently, we were approached by North York Harvest Food Bank, one of the largest food banks in the region, with a significant request. They informed us that one of their food bank locations will shut down at the end of November. Recognizing our deep community connections and holistic approach to service, they asked us to take over their food distribution operations and help them find a location. 

 

This request is a testament to our reputation and the trust we’ve built within the community. However, we face a daunting challenge without financial support from North York Harvest Food Bank. We have the opportunity to ensure the 150 households that this foodbank is serving continue to receive vital support. Still, we urgently need additional resources to manage a second food bank while maintaining our current programs.

 

Will you help us get there and join our Neighbours Helping Neighbours campaign?  We invite you to make a tax deductible contribution below! Thank you!
