We distribute food to
people who are in need. Food donations are coming through grocery chain stores.
Immigrant Link has made connection with Save-on-Foods, Fresh St. Market and IGA
stores and started to collect food which was close to best before or one day
old. Food donations are including vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy and deli
products, breads and bakery goods. The collected food has been sorted in boxes
by volunteers and delivered to less fortunate families, according to their
needs and their requests..

At first, we delivered food to students, 30 families, in Vanier Centre once a week.

During the past few years, the demand for food has become bigger and bigger, so we expanded our program from one day per week to seven days per week in 22 different locations.
ILCS is distributing over 250 tons of food value of $ 2,000,000. In this way, we are feeding over 2500 less fortunate people per month.
