Nonprofit Organization Management - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
On December 4th 2021, at 10am, residents of Toronto are invited to leave a non-perishable food item on their doorstep (clearly marked for Toronto Miracle). Volunteers will collect these donations and redistribute to those in need in the community.These unique times we have been going through in this pandemic are the most difficult that many of us have ever faced. Now is the time to find the hero in each of us and protect the most vulnerable in our community. This is our moment.Toronto Miracle is a grassroots initiative, run completely on volunteer power. From getting the word out to picking up the food – this initiative can't happen without the support of YOU – the Toronto community. The more people who get involved, the more we will be able to support our neighbours in need.Our goal is to bring together all 140 Toronto neighbourhoods to raise 250,000 lbs of non-perishable food items in one day.Toronto Miracle was started by community members who were concerned about the impact COVID-19 was having on our city. Inspired by similar events held in Chatham-Kent, Windsor, Yellowknife and Montreal, we decided to run an event in Toronto that would give everyone an equal opportunity to participate in making a difference in our community.
