The federal government is giving thousands to help the Milton Salvation Army.
As part of the Emergency Fund for Food Security launched back in April, $40,449 will be donated to the Salvation Army – Khi Community to use towards their food bank. $7,203 is being funded in the way of pre-packaged foods.
Milton MP Adam van Koeverden says the pandemic has affected the way in which some Canadians can feed their families.
“The Salvation Army has always been there to support local families and people in need, and COVID-19 has only added to the considerable demands on their staff and volunteers. Our government’s Emergency Fund for Food Security has been there to assist the organizations that support our most vulnerable neighbours from the start. This pandemic has been exceedingly difficult for so many Canadians, but with incredible support from community serving organizations like the Salvation Army here in Milton, families have had access to the food and supplies they need. I want to thank them for their hard work and generosity, and for everything they do to ensure local families are food secure.”
Thousands of families will be receiving help from the Emergency Fund, which totals up to $100 million.
