BCCC has reached out to the Collective Group that is well connected in the GTA. The Collective Group is an action-oriented group that has a grasp of the system and the policies in place that are hindering many vulnerable members from obtaining the support and services they desperately need. The Toronto Branch of the Collective Group consists of 37 grass root groups and 12 not-for-profit organizations that are registered incorporated.

When we collectively donate to the same cause, we provide support and strengthen relationships between all the communities while building trust and transparency. We started by wanting to support 40 families and have in excess of 112 families on the waiting list. Since the need this year is far more generalized, we have reached out to others to take part in this initiative. We wish to acknowledge all our donors and supporters: Toronto Black Farmers Collective, Country Heritage Park, Asian-Pacific Community Consultative Committee, 43 CPLC Division Co-Chair James Thomas, 31 CPLC Division Co-Chair Mark Tenaglia, Constable Isabelle Cotton, Carpenters Local 27, Rev. Brian McIntosh, the Collective Group, Greenwin Corp., and CPLC from 22, 42, 43, 11, 12, and 23 Divisions. 

This would not have been possible without the support of the Toronto Black Farmers and Growers Collective that are providing organic, nutritional, locally grown produce to the most vulnerable members of our community. We are profoundly appreciative of their generous support.  

We invite all community members to join and take a lead in giving back and donate by supporting communities that are marginalized and in need of assistance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are communities that face barriers to accessing Food Banks and other services due to disabilities, lack of transportation, lack of child-care support etc.
