Hand Up Toronto

Happy First Full Day of Spring 🌷!!!!

I want to share some photos from today’s Global Medic food hamper distribution event at Scadding Court. We welcomed 🚐 Driver George from Global Medic, and nine HUT volunteers (Kelly, Sakshi, Michael, Bob, Mary, Kelly, Tadiwa, Gino, and Sid).

❤️ *78 families* ❤️ were registered to pick up

We were fortunate to have additional items to give to the families, such as Knix brand underwear and menstrual products, provided by Scadding Court contacts.

🎶 Great tunes, fun people, and grateful families🎵

Happy Family Day Toronto!
As we spend today with the people we love, let’s also hold space for neighbours who may be worrying about their next meal.
