A recent provincial policy change requires charitable organizations to pay for recycling collection services. This has negatively impacted foodbank operations, creating additional costs that reduce funds available for those we serve.
We invite parishioners to join a letter-writing campaign asking the local member of provincial parliament to support reversing this policy. A template letter is provided here to make participation easy. Print out the letter, add your signature and any post script you feel might be helpful. Mail it to the MPP’s office or send it by email to lorne.coeco@pc.ola.org (cc financewarden@allsaintswhitby.org so we know how the campaign is going). Your voice can help ensure that financial resources of the food bank are spent on the people who depend on it and not on waste pickup.
You can also modify the letter and send to the Mayor of Whitby or the federal Member of Parliament, asking them to help keep up pressure on behalf of All Saints’ Foodbank.
