BAPS Charities organized a food drive in Windsor, ON, and donated more than 200 pounds of non-perishable food items to the Windsor Goodfellows Food Bank on December 27, 2023.
The escalating costs of essential commodities such as food, fuel, accommodation, and transportation have significantly burdened many individuals and families, particularly children, single mothers, international students, and seniors. Regrettably, many find themselves in the distressing situation of having insufficient funds to provide for even the most basic necessity—food.
Recognizing the gravity of the situation, BAPS Charities, in the spirit of service, organized food drives to support local food banks.
“On behalf of our Board of Directors and volunteers, we thank you for your donation of food items. Your generosity and support will help us to assist those in need in our community, particularly during these challenging times,” said Brian Beaumont, President of Windsor Goodfellows. “We appreciate your assistance in helping our organization continue our programs, year after year.”
Similar food drives were organized by BAPS Charities in over 13 cities across Canada, collectively donating over 10,000 lbs. of food.
BAPS Charities is committed to serving society and communities in diverse fields such as medical, environmental, community, educational, and humanitarian services.
