The arrival of COVID-19 has intensified the issue of food insecurity for many families in Toronto. This year, UCC students are conducting a three-week school-wide food drive starting on Friday, November 27 and finishing on Friday, December 18 to help The Churches-on-the-Hill Food Bank provide food to those in need this holiday season.

The goal is to collect 1 lb of food per UCC student.

Here is what 1lb of food looks like:

• Two 8 oz cans of soup
• One 454 g box of pasta
• One jar of pasta sauce

These items are most needed by the food bank:

• peanut butter
• diapers
• Enfalac (baby formula)
• dry pasta
• cans (not jars) of pasta sauce
• canned fruit
• canned soups
• non-sugar based cereals

Collection bins will be located at the Prep and Upper School. Please consider donating!
