We can print some info and hand it to any grocer or other food merchant. So much goes to waste, there's just no reason for people to be hungry.
The ShareGoods program is based on the National Food Sharing System, a national logistics system that distributes donations to food banks across the country. Only food banks that are members in good standing of Food Banks Canada are eligible to receive products through this system. To qualify, a food bank must adhere to a code of ethics and meet strict food handling standards. When food companies donate product or cash to ShareGoods they know that their contributions will go to those in real need of assistance. Participants in the program earn the right to use the ShareGoods name and logo on corporate materials. ShareGoods supporters can be confident that their products and brand images will be treated with integrity, care and respect.
Companies interested in joining the ShareGoods program should contact the Food & Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC; www.fcpc.ca (http://www.fcpc.ca/)). Tel: (416) 510-8024.
To donate food and/or products, call (877) 535-0958 or e-mail: sharegoods@cafb-acba.ca (sharegoods@cafb-acba.ca)
