"Lunch Money Day"
February 26, 2004
| WHEREAS: |
since 1985, Second Harvest has been picking up donated surplus food and delivering it to social service agencies in Toronto. This fresh and frozen food, which would otherwise have gone to landfill, provides enough food for 12,000 meals a day; and |
| WHEREAS: |
thousands of people in Toronto depend on Second Harvest for nutritious food donations. These recipients include women in shelters, children in breakfast programs, seniors on fixed incomes, psychiatric patients, the homeless and many more who have fallen on hard times; and |
| WHEREAS: |
Second Harvest is dependent on the generosity of the Toronto community for food donations, financial donations and volunteer help; and |
| WHEREAS: |
"Lunch Money Day", as Second Harvest's annual winter fundraiser, asks Toronto residents to brown bag their lunch and donate their lunch money to Second Harvest. |
| NOW, |
| THEREFORE: |
I, Mayor David Miller, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim February 26, 2004 as "Lunch Money Day" and encourage everyone to support this important cause by brown bagging their lunch, and donating their lunch money to Second Harvest. |
[Signed Mayor David Miller]
