The 2017 Toonies For Tummies Campaign is in full swing at participating grocery store locations. Until February 23, visit your local Metro St. Paul Avenue, Food Basics King George Road or Food Basics Lynden Park Mall in Brantford to give your toonie to help fill a tummy.
Although each store has a unique fundraising goal, they are unified with a common purpose: 100% of donations raised will go toward feeding children in this community a healthy meal. The good news for customers is that 100% of Toonies raised here, STAY here in our community. By supporting the Toonies For Tummies campaign, you are helping Brant Food For Thought toward their goal: contributing to a child’s ability to learn by supporting and facilitating student nutrition programs. Children and youth in our local schools will benefit by having universal access to the most nutritious foods possible to help them learn and succeed at school.
The Grocery Foundation is the driving force behind the annual Toonies For Tummies campaign, where the public, the grocery industry and local food retailers rally together to make a difference for students. And 100% of donations made through this campaign go directly to kids and youth in the communities where the funds are collected.
