Amma Canada volunteers delivering chilli

Amma Canada volunteers, in partnership with Georgetown Bread Basket, donated 66 excess boxes vegetarian chilli (~200 lbs) to various food programs throughout the GTA over the past two weeks. Recipients of the surplus, individually packed veggie chilli included: Beaton Food Bank in Toronto (20 boxes), Ancaster Community Services (23 boxes), and Dixon Hall in Toronto (23 boxes)!

These volunteer efforts help distribute useable food to families and individuals in need, and prevent food wastage. If you wish to participate in future Food Rescue initiatives, and have access to a car, please contact Mahita or Nandini Melody at ammatoronto@ammagroups.org
