McDonald's Canada has launched a new initiative called 'The Giving Page' to support Food Banks Canada. With this new website, each unique page visit will convert into a meal that Food Banks Canada will provide to a family in need.
Approximately 1.5 million Canadians visited a food bank this year, with one-third of them being children, according to Food Banks Canada's Hunger Count Report. As a part of Canadian communities since 1967, McDonald's knows that being part of communities means doing things to help each other out where support is needed the most.
The website is an easy way for Canadians to join efforts and help families in need. All you have to do is visit the website and click on the page. Support McDonald's Canada and Food Banks Canada by visiting The Giving Page today and help provide a meal to a family in need this holiday season.
