My story 📝
In 2020, like many others, I was searching for a meaningful way to give back during an uncertain time. I found it in Hand Up From Hunger Toronto: a small but mighty charity 💪 delivering food to families across the GTA.
I started by helping with the logistics of routing drivers to over 20,000 families who'd signed up for help, and joined the board soon after. Today it's my absolute joy 🥰 and privilege to serve as the Chair of the Board with this inspirational team of people 🧡
Every family I meet reminds me that this is about more than food. It’s about showing up in communities with dignity, care, and connection. It can be easy to feel fatigued or unsure if one donation makes a difference. But it does. Every single food box matters to a real family in our city, and it's heartwarming ❤️ to be part of it.
This fall, I'm running 🏃♀️ the Toronto Waterfront Marathon 5K to raise funds for our programs. Your support helps us provide essential food boxes, delivered with compassion, to families across Toronto who are facing tough times.
👉 Please donate, share our story, or join us as a volunteer.

Description
Help me fundraise for Hand Up From Hunger Toronto!
I’m raising funds to support Hand Up Toronto and together, we can provide food-insecure families in Toronto with twice monthly hampers of fresh produce and nutrient-dense non-perishables (rice, pasta and dried lentils and beans).
Here’s why this cause is important to me and how you can get involved, too:
Up to 1 in 4 households in Toronto face food insecurity and up to 80% of those households never go to a foodbank. Hand Up Toronto's distribution and delivery model reaches those families.
Proper nutrition, especially the fresh produce that is so out of reach for low-income families significantly improves children’s mental health, academic performance, and long-term wellbeing.
I'm fundraising so that every family that wants hampers can get one through Hand Up Toronto.
