Committee members take ownership of fundraising and contribute significantly to TCEP corporate sponsorship, personal giving, fundraising events and other campaigns. They leverage personal or professional networks, practice event planning skills, and help get people excited about healthy wholesome food! The committee convenes once every 4 to 6 weeks, and members are expected to attend at least 75% of those meetings.

 We believe that food has the power to bring people together!

 Over 100 municipalities in Ontario have declared intimate partner violence an epidemic. We hope that this sends a loud message to women silently suffering that they are acknowledged and heard, and that the community is working to build and improve resources so that they can improve their lives. These declarations are important, but we must continue to speak out for appropriate resources and laws that will protect women, so our work is not finished.
