TravelBrands donates $10,000 to Food Banks Canada

Recognizing that food insecurity impacts many Canadians, TravelBrands recently donated $10,000 to Food Banks Canada.

Now entering its fourth consecutive year of partnership with the organization, TravelBrands has pledged to participate in a food and fundraising drive as part of expanding their partnership with Food Banks Canada.

This initiative will also allow employees to learn and have a positive impact on the community.

Food insecurity rising in Canada

According to Claudia Galella, director of corporate development and partnerships at Food Banks Canada, food banks usage rose to its highest levels this year across Canada, with almost two million visits in one month alone.

“We stand behind the impactful work of Food Banks Canada in supporting Canadians facing food insecurity. Their commitment to ensuring that those in need have access to meals is commendable,” said Nathalie Tanious, president and CEO, TravelBrands. “As we navigate this season, it is crucial that we unite to alleviate the weight on individuals and families most affected. We are confident that our joint effort will make a difference for those relying on additional support this year.”

“Food banks in every region of Canada are stretched to their limits with this rising demand, which is expected to remain high as more and more people count on food banks to help them cope with rising costs,” Galella said. “Due to this heightened need, we are very grateful for our partnership with TravelBrands. This donation comes at an important time. Thank you TravelBrands for your support and for helping us work towards our mission of relieving hunger today and preventing hunger tomorrow.”

TravelBrands has supported multiple charities and organizations over the years.
