Our mission at BradfordToday is to strengthen the communities we serve and in the spirit of strengthening the Bradford community, we are spearheading a food drive in support of the Helping Hands Food Bank.
The holidays can be a stressful time for many families and now more than ever, the Helping Hands Food Bank needs our help to keep the shelves stocked.
In response to that need, we asked Zehrs Bradford to donate food packages for our loyal readers to purchase for the food bank through an online pop-up store.
BradfordToday then matched whatever was purchased as a cash donation to the food bank.
But that’s not all.
We know that Bradford is full of caring individuals and businesses who would generously donate to this initiative as well. So, we contacted a number of local businesses to see if they would also like to match reader contributions with a cash donation.
As a result, for every food package purchased in our pop-up store from now until Dec. 15 at 12 p.m., each dollar will be matched six times and all proceeds will go directly to the food bank.
That means your $25 donation will be turned into a $150 donation!
Here is how you can buy a food package in support of the Helping Hands Food Bank:
- Log in to your BradfordToday account (or register for free).
- Select a food package you would like to donate and enter your credit card details.
- Check the 'Confirm’ button and click ‘Donate’ to confirm your purchase.
- That's it, you did it! You gave back to our community this holiday season.
Thanks to the following businesses who have joined us in matching each donation: Addictive Design, BOTAS Electrical LTD., Bradford Print Shoppe, Bradford Wolves Soccer Club and The Dias Group.
BradfordToday is proud to lead this worthwhile cause in an effort to reduce hunger and poverty in our community, particularly as the holiday season draws near.
Programs like this and support from businesses and community members - like you - help us to give back to Bradford.
