Bata Donor Appreciation Event 2010
Charity among charities Canadian Feed The Children is very happy to help out another registered charity, The Furniture Bank. The Toronto area-based organization recycles gently used household furnishings from individuals and corporate donors and provides them to groups that have been referred by registered community shelters and agencies. The Furniture Bank recently received a large donation of mattresses and didn’t have the room to store them. Our small warehouse was big enough to help them out for as long as they need.

A year later, he and his generous colleagues have raised $200,000 for our child nutrition programs around the world. And Wayne's spirit of sharing has been recognized with a Canadian Living Me to We Award, which resulted in a $5000 gift to Canadian Feed The Children. Thank you, Wayne!

The problem of landmines cannot be underestimated. There are between 45 and 50 million landmines in the ground in at least 70 countries that reportedly maim or kill 10,000 civilians every year. “Any organization involved in international development is painfully aware of the tragedies caused by landmines,” says Jim. “Canadian Feed The Children will help spread the word about the dangers of landmines in any way we can.” Sunday, April 4 is United Nations' Mine Awareness Day, sponsored by
