Hydro One Energizes our Food Bank
TORONTO, Nov. 13, 2020 – This month, the new Elmvale & District Food Bank in the Township of Springwater is expected to open its doors with support from Hydro One. The company provided a donation to connect power to the new food bank that will play a critical role for individuals and families in need, especially as it gears up for a busy winter. The support was made possible through Hydro One’s community investment program, Building Safe Communities, promoting both emotional and physical safety.
“With food insecurity becoming more prevalent across the province, Hydro One is finding new ways to give back to the communities where we work and live and address the challenges many families are facing,” said Spencer Gill, Vice President Customer Service, Hydro One. “By energizing the Elmvale & District Food Bank, we are able to support the charitable organizations making a lasting difference and building a better and brighter future.”
“Thank you to Hydro One for stepping up to support the construction of the new Elmvale & District Food Bank,” said Don Allen, Mayor, Township of Springwater. “You’re donation has helped to ensure that the most vulnerable people in our community will not go hungry. It is partnerships like this that build, strengthen and energize our community.”
“The Board of Directors and volunteers of Elmvale & District Food Bank wishes to thank Hydro One for their support in donating the costs of connecting the power to our new building,” said Dave Don, Vice President, Board of Directors of Elmvale & District Food Bank. “Our new home is being built by the commitment of our community partners. This donation is a wonderful way for Hydro One to give back to our community and is very much appreciated.”
