David’s story
Between July 2023 and June 2024, members of EAT 365, The Food Bank of Waterloo Region’s monthly donor community, helped provide over two million meals to people in need. Their consistent support plays a vital role in the fight against hunger.
One of these donors, David Bertrand, was inspired to give after volunteering with his colleagues through the Food Engagement program. Seeing the impact firsthand, he now donates monthly and continues to volunteer with groups like his daughter’s hockey team, valuing the consistency and support monthly donations provide.
By becoming a monthly donor, you’ll help feed people in need every day, week, and month of the year. Together, we can make an even bigger impact in 2025.
