GLENBROOK ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOOD GRAINS CAMPAIGN
WE DID IT!!
THANKS TO OUR GLENBROOK FAMILY for your amazing, faithful response to OUR GOOD NEIGHBOUR FOOD GRAINS CAMPAIGN THIS FALL!!
Our campaign ran from Thanksgiving through November 23, 2025. The goal was to raise $6,000 to support the Good Neighbour Growing Project with the land in Thorndale, ON. The donations grew amazingly & by the end of the campaign, incredibly we’ve raised $9,400, exceeding our goal by 60%!!
The Canadian government supports the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, by providing additional funding of up to 4X of the amount donated! Wow, Thanks Glenbrook this will have an impact!
If you are interested in advocating for humanitarian funding for world food relief, please visit the Canadian Foodgrains Bank website https://foodgrainsbank.ca/get-involved/advocate/
to learn more about the world food crisis and discover how your voice can be heard.
Missions and Outreach Committee
FOOD BANKS MISSISSAUGA
Some members of our Missions and Outreach Committee visited Food Banks Mississauga on November 17. We had a tour of their facility guided by Juanita, their Chief Operating Officer. The tour was very informative. It was humbling to realize the extent of the need in our city and to see the way Food Banks is helping our neighbours. The location we visited is the central location, from there food is distributed to 65 different locations in Mississauga. Juanita told us that they distributed ten million pounds of food over the past year. God bless them for the work that they are doing in our community! Our upcoming Musical Memories Coffee House will help support Food Banks Mississauga.
