CBC Toronto is hosting a festive event, Make the Season Kind, on Friday morning to raise funds for food banks in the Greater Toronto Area (source). The day features live broadcasting from the Glenn Gould Studio with musical performances by artists like William Prince and Zenesoul. Although tickets are sold out, the audience can still enjoy the show online or at the broadcast center’s atrium, accompanied by coffee and treats.
The initiative aims to support food banks during high-demand times, highlighting ongoing food insecurity challenges. With over $300,000 already raised, CBC Toronto encourages contributions of money or non-perishable items. Volunteer Karl Balluch, relying on the food bank due to rising living costs, shares his experience of financial strain despite full-time employment. He emphasizes the satisfaction of volunteering and urges others to support local food banks. Daily Bread Food Bank CEO Neil Hetherington stresses the critical role of volunteers.
As the day progresses, attendees can enjoy more specials, including comedian performances and live shows. This event spotlights the community’s ability to unite for a cause.
