On Monday, FHCP proudly hosted its Annual Charity Golf Tournament at Nobleton Lakes Golf Club in support of Food Banks Canada. Building on an impressive feat from last year’s $18,788 raised, this year’s event saw even greater generosity with a total of $21,875 raised. With perfect sunshine and a strong turnout from across the industry, the event was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when we unite for a worthy cause.
Food insecurity in Canada remains a pressing issue, affecting over 25% of households. Each month, food banks across the country receive over 2 million visits from people in need, yet nearly 30% report running out of food before meeting demand. With rising food costs and increasing demand, food banks require our support now more than ever.
We extend sincere thanks to Erin Filey-Wronecki and Claudia Galella from Food Banks Canada for joining us and sharing impactful stories about the growing need.
We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors whose support made this event possible: AMO Estate Winery, Dr. Oetker Canada Ltd, White Oaks Conference Resort & Spa, Abbott, Canadian Grocer, Church & Dwight Co., Inc., Edgewell Personal Care, Ethnicity Matters, Gallagher, Gowling WLG, illycaffè, Mars, Mondelēz International, Nestlé, PECO Pallet, Inc., PepsiCo, Retail Council of Canada, SimplyProtein, IVC Vita Health Products Inc., Balzac's Coffee Ltd, Burnbrae Farms, The Campbell's Company, Concord National, Concord Sales Ltd., and Empire Company Limited.
Special appreciation goes to the dedicated FHCP team whose efforts continue to raise the bar for industry events year after year.
Thank you to everyone who participated, contributed, and helped make this event a success. We are proud of what was accomplished and honoured to stand alongside Food Banks Canada in the fight against hunger.
We look forward to seeing you again next year! ⛳
