PWA is proud to once again launch the Annual Joy Drive, our holiday food drive for PWA’s Essentials Market food bank.
Commencing on Friday November 15th through to Friday December 20th, you can help bring Joy to so many by dropping off any non-perishable goods at any of the locations listed below.
PWA’s Essentials Market is the only food bank in Toronto that exclusively serves people living with HIV/AIDS (PHAs) and for the past 10 years the Annual Joy Drive has collected over 10.5 tons of much needed non-perishable goods that ensure PHAs get access to nutrition that keep them healthy.
As demand for access to the Essentials Market continues, we ask for your support to help stock the shelves with cans of soup and vegetables, dry pasta and rice, baby food, grain cereals, and nut butters. Please help bring Joy to our food drive this year and drop off non-perishable food items and personal hygiene products at any of the locations (listed below)
