Sabbath Food Drive Helps Feed the Hungry in Toronto

On the final Sabbath of the General Conference Session, July 8, everyone is invited to bring non-perishable food to the SkyDome to stock the warehouse of the Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto.

Trucks from the Food Bank will be parked along the curb outside the SkyDome on Bremmar Boulevard to collect cans, boxes, and bags of food brought by generous Adventist Christians attending the Session. The Food Bank will haul the contributions back to their warehouse to sort and distribute food to a long list of organizations that feed needy people among the four million residents of Toronto. Several of those organizations are Seventh-day Adventist churches and Community Services groups.

Many small grocery and convenience stores are located beneath the office buildings and along the PATH in the downtown area. The concierge or front desk person at your hotel can give directions to a store located near you or the SkyDome.
