This week we celebrated the close of this year’s Business Cares Food Drive in support of the London Food Bank at the Agriplex.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who got involved in this year’s drive! Our members rallied together to captain 9 stores for grocery store weekend, volunteer their time, collect food at their businesses, call their contacts to make a donation, spread the word about the incredible need in our community and make personal donations.

A special thank you to John Relouw (DUO Building Ltd.) and Mark Vaandering (CLAY dcc) for representing LHBA on the Business Cares committee each year and for your ongoing dedication to this drive. We couldn’t do it without your leadership.

Every contribution is appreciated so much and has helped us surpass last year’s LHBA’s team contribution, again!

Last year: $320,952 (food & monetary)

This year: $345,731 (food & monetary) – and still counting as donations continue to come in!

Overall, this year’s Business Cares Food Drive raised 683,000lbs worth of food and cash donations (a 9% increase overall from last year), impacting the London and Area Food Bank and the over 70 programs (28 agencies) it supports in our city.

If you would still like to donate, please do!
