The Christmas season is undoubtedly a time of giving, but that doesn’t always equate to stacks of presents with pristine bows and flawless wrapping paper.

Thanks to food security grants totalling $750,000 from ShareLife, Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Toronto and a generous anonymous donor, 34 food banks or meal programs received a welcome and timely financial boost.

ShareLife is teaming up with Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Toronto and an anonymous donor to pledge $750,000 to combat Ontario's ever-growing food security crisis.

As of June 18, the ShareLife parish campaign has accumulated $8.62 million, 62 per cent of its over $14-million goal.
