Islamic Society of Vaughan joins North York Harvest for day of community giving

A group of volunteers wearing yellow Islamic Society of Vaughan t-shirts pick up cans and place them in boxes.

At North York Harvest we’re doing everything we can to ensure our community members can meet their food needs – but we can’t do it alone.

On November 30 the Islamic Society of Vaughan stepped forward with an incredible gift of $25,000 that was used to purchase nutritious food to support our neighbours in need. Through their donation, we were able to purchase:

  • 6,048 cans of sweet peas
  • 5,100 bags of pasta
  • 10,752 cans of kidney beans
  • 4,320 cans of pasta sauce

Fifty members of the Islamic Society of Vaughan also joined us at our warehouse to sort and prepare the food for distribution themselves, sorting over  27,700 lbs. of food!

It was a joyous day of community care, teamwork, and compassion that will send positive ripples out into our community for the weeks to come.

Check out the video below for a recap of the day!
