Just a reminder for those with means to do so, please donate to your local food banks or food pantries. Even $20 worth of food goes a long way. It's also worth bringing non-expired, non-perishables to your local food pantry as a spring cleaning!

I have a feeling that donating money might be more useful since they likely can purchase food at discounts, whereas we're paying Loblaw's full profit margins when we buy retail.

You can also pay more to our farmers if you buy it directly from them at the weekly markets.

I go to my local weekly farmer's market and I can't tell what's come from their farm and what's from the Toronto Food Terminal. That's a genuine problem for me, trying to ID who's real and who's a Loblaw wannabe. 🥲
