Submitted by Jaime Libaque St Lawrence Martyr The St Lawrence Martyr Council 13417 in Scarborough collected 1,010 lbs of non-perishable food items and donated it to the Agincourt Community Services Association (ACSA) Food Bank. A thank you letter was received. The last time the Council collected Food for Families was in 2018, just before COVID. This year 2023, some adjustments were necessary; only two bins were placed at the entrance of the church; Brother Knights and families arranged for 8 deliveries during the four-week period of collection.

It has been the largest quantity since 2013 when the Council first embraced this program. This year 2022, we had business sponsorships from MeridianCU, UniforTheUnion, three other local Councils 3296,9143,9494 and partnered with the ACSA Community Center. More than 10 Brother Knights were present for the distribution and local Councillor Thompson was among the guests. We hope to get more Scarborough Councils to join for the future.
