The holiday season is a time of generosity and compassion. The spirit of giving is strong at the end of the year, and with the busy days leading up to Christmas and the New Year, the people who are disadvantaged still need our help as much as ever. At this time of year, food security can be at its most volatile, as people are preparing for large family meals, it leaves less for those who may need help to afford having their own feasts on the table. Nobody deserves to be cold and on an empty stomach at this time, so we must not forget our friends who need our support and do our part so that everyone can feel the holiday joy with warm and full bellies.
Thus, every holiday season starting from 2018, we are partnering up with multiple local charities and non-profits in order to provide pizza slices, through a sponsorship from the Pizza Pizza 705 franchise, to those struggling to find food security in these times. This year, we were able to give out over 800 slices to non-profits including:
– Lunch By George
– St. Vince DePaul Society
– Martha’s Table
– Dawn House
– Kingston Interval House
– Elizabeth Fry Transitional Housing
– Tipi Moza Iron Homes
– Lily House
And many winter shelters, and youth shelters in Kingston.
