Holiday Haul! Burlington 365 and Partners Raise 346 Pounds of Food in Support of the Food Bank

"Burlington is always amazingly giving. With food prices so high, it’s fantastic to see Burlington 365 giving back and the community coming together in support."

Councillor Rory Nisan

This holiday season, Burlington 365 partnered with Next Rock Organizing, Workwell Coworking Space, and Shaheryar Mian to host a Christmas Food Drive in support of the Burlington Food Bank. The drive brought together local businesses, community members, and volunteers with a shared goal of helping those in need during the holiday season.

The food drive was a resounding success, with a total of 346 pounds of food donated. This incredible achievement highlights the generosity and community spirit of Burlington and the surrounding area. The contributions will go a long way in supporting families and individuals who rely on the Burlington Food Bank during the holidays and beyond.

The organizers extend their heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated, including the businesses and individuals who donated food, spread the word, or volunteered their time. Their collective efforts ensured the food drive exceeded expectations and made a meaningful impact.

Burlington 365 would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Jill Gillis of Next Rock Organizing for her incredible support in collecting donations and assisting with food drop-offs at the Burlington Food Bank. Jill’s dedication and generosity have made a meaningful difference in helping our community members in need. Her efforts remind us of the power of coming together to create positive change.
