September 30th is Orange Shirt Day, in recognition

September 30th is Orange Shirt Day, in recognition of the residential school experience, witnessing and honouring the healing journey of the survivors and their families.

September 30th also marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendments made by Parliament.

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.

September is Hunger Action Month. Join the folks a

September is Hunger Action Month. Join the folks at the Brant Food Bank in their fight against hunger in our community.

"Brant Food Bank: September is Hunger Action Month, and we’re excited to shine a spotlight on the incredible volunteers who make the Brantford Food Bank’s mission possible.

Our dedicated Volunteers are the heart and soul of our organization, working tirelessly to help alleviate hunger in our community. They pack and distribute food, lend a helping hand at events, and bring smiles to those in need. Their efforts inspire us every single day.

Today’s volunteer spotlight is on Corinne. Corinne works at our client intake desk and has been volunteering since 2010. She has clocked almost 300 hours volunteering with us. As a client intake volunteer, Corinne is the first person that clients see when they come into the food bank for their appointments. She always greets them with a smile and makes them feel welcome.

Here is what Corinne had to say about volunteering at the Brantford Food Bank:
“I enjoy chatting with our clients and seeing all the positive interactions that occur at the Food Bank. I know that my volunteering makes an immediate and positive difference in the lives of members of my community.”

Whether you have a few hours to spare each week or a day every now and then, your time can make a real impact. Volunteering at the Brantford Food Bank is an opportunity to give back, forge new connections, and contribute to a cause that matters. The joy you’ll feel from knowing you’re making a difference is truly unmatched.

Let’s come together to fight hunger and create positive change in our community. Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Learn more about volunteering at https://crs-help.ca/volunteer
2. Spread the word; share this post with friends and family, and encourage them to get involved with you!
3. Learn more about Hunger Action Month and other ways to get involved at https://feedontario.ca/hunger-action-month/

Thank you Corinne, for all of the hard work you do for us and our community!"
