In Canada, snow is not a postcard pleasure but a civic fact - something that demands planning, patience, and shared effort. Survival here has always been a communal achievement. It's a Canadian rite of passage and becomes part of our civic DNA. Pretty awesome when you think about it.

As hhunger grows, so does the urge within Londoners to do something about it. It's happening right now and it reveals the depth of our community's compassion. Thank you everyone. We deeply appreciate your support. #LdnOnt

All of us at the London Food Bankwant to thank our great friends at CBC London for all the support from this year's Make the Season Kind initiative. Best of all, you told the stories of those struggling in London and our community's efforts to respond. Every year, you're always there. THANK YOU.

The carols speak of plenty but the checkout lines speak of trade-offs. Generosity feels most urgent just as it becomes most expensive - a modern Christmas parable. We know it's more difficult for you to donate this season London and we appreciate how much you're sacrificing. Thank you. #LdnOnt

Conversations matter at this time of year because we think about community in different ways. This is one of my favourite photos of Jane. She's talking with Kate Dubinski from CBC about how vital our community is. Let's keep the talk going - lots to do. #LdnOnt

A real pleasure to have CBC's Kate Dubinski down at the London Food Bank this morning to talk about food insecurity and CBC's Make the Season Kind. Lots happening. #LdnOnt

The modern mind is conditioned to evaluate rather than understand. We have so many challenges in London but one fact is irrefutable - there are thousands of citizens who give their life to this community without any reward because they know they are needed. They are the best of us. #LdnOnt

The need is great but I have learned over 40 years at the London Food Bank that our community is greater. I know this is the season for giving but we thank all of you for your abundant giving year-round. We take our challenges in-stride because you always have our back. #LdnOnt

I'm so glad to live in this land, in this city, with all of you. We are blessed. #LdnOnt #Canada

Vital days ahead for the London Food Bank. With so many groups asking for assistance, added to the 40+ agencies we already assist, it's clear our community is n a food insecurity crisis. The food bank board is already hard at work discerning how to respond. Help if you can ... and thank you.

Hearty congratulations to the Hyde Park Santa Claus Parade organizers. And THANK YOU for the London Food Bank donations. You came together as a community and it was inspiring. #LdnOnt

The great paradox of public life is that when governments retreat, non-profits quietly advance. They absorb the shock of unjust cuts with a steadiness rooted not in budgets but in moral conviction. They become the humanitarian reach of government - its last remaining hope. #LdnOnt

All of our volunteers were pumped. Thank you London for coming through again this year, in the generous spirit of the holiday season. #LdnOnt

IT'S COMING!!!!!! Friday evening at 8:15 the CP Holiday Train will be at the Richmond Street crossing (at the tracks). It's in support of the London Food Bank - lots of music, treats, and great stuff for the kids. Bring a donation if you can and enjoy the brightest train in the world! #LdnOnt

What a kickoff to the Tim Horton's Smile Cookie campaign for the London Food Bank. It's a big thing for us given the increase in demand. So many great folks took part and the staff of Tim's was terrific. Buy a cookie and help out if you can. youtu.be/3qKF6q1XLJ0 #LdnOnt

On Volunteer Corner, Glen talks to two great champions - Margaret Hopkins and Eleanor Huber. Their help for the food bank has been stellar but it's in their efforts for the Old South community and Wortley Village that their influence has been truly amazing. youtu.be/N3MwJQAGlIU

Our parents and grandparents fought a war to give us peace and freedom. Then they came home and built a country to match. Let's do the same, respecting our distinctions and commonalities. Let's pick up their torch and build again, with kindness and understanding. Our kids deserve it. #LdnOnt

Tonight at 5:30 on Rogers TV London, Glen talks with City Councillor Skylar Franke about food advocacy. How do reverse what seems to be our community's slide into growing hunger. Some helpful suggestions here. Tune in if you can to Path to Food Security at 5:30. #LdnOnt

From all of us at the London Food Bank to everyone wrestling with all the memoties this day brings, we wish you a meaningful Remembrance Day and, like you, we are deeply thankful for the sacrifices made for this great country. #LdnOnt

Love you, Dad - always. Thank you for your example - always. Thank you for my country - forever. Your were "Elbows Up" long before it became a thing. #LdnOnt #RemembranceDay

We were delighted to have received a $100,000 donation from an anonymous giver yesterday. The donor understood the pressures we are facing and the timing was perfect. London is a city of giving and we thank everyone for affirming it time and time again. #lLdnOnt

The world knew us for a great standard of living and for opportunity. Now, not so much. 23 other nations are in the same boat. We have to work our way back to greatness and it will take all of us pulling in the same direction. youtu.be/F24HY5AfaUw #LdnOnt

These wonderful folks just keep finding ways to support Londoners. Good friends. Here they are in their own words on Volunteer Corner. youtu.be/Jbnfs5E7Ras #LdnOnt @londonfoodbank.bsky.social

Our world is presently disorienting and troubled. Volunteers know that, even feel it themselves. But they handle it not by belittling others but by building them up, not by picking sides but choosing community. We'll prevail because of them. #LdnOnt

At the London Food Bank, we have a large network of people and organizations dedicated to helping hungry families. It has expanded over the years, understanding that through collaboration and connection we accomplish more together than independently. It's a marvellous, organic thing. #LdnOnt

London builds itself on many great qualities, but we are at our finest when we care about others. The "truest language" - it will prove essential to our future as a city. #LdnOnt

The @londonfoodbank.bsky.social is no longer just feeding the hungry - we're trying to shape this city’s conscience around its children, reminding us that every full stomach is an act of civic renewal. Too many of our infants are at risk. #LdnOnt

Jane and I had a great evening with these folks last night at the Wortley Roadhouse. They're a great team that put music and community together in memorable fashion. A special thanks to all of you. #LdnOnt

The hardships of our era have dimmed the light of the child inside us, leaving it timid and cautious. Yet it still whispers of wonder, play, and hope. Only by joining hands across our differences can we coax it back to life. #LdnOnt

London's population is set to grow by over 50% in the next 25 years. What efect will that have on our food system? Find out on Path to Food Security tonight at 5:30 p.m. on Rogers TV London. #LdnOnt

On this day in 1957, Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize. He had no idea it was coming. All he could say was "gosh." We honour his effort ... and his character. My kind of guy. No lobbying. No brash promotion. Just a dignified approach to humanity. #LdnOnt

On Volunteer Corner, Glen and Luis talk with Tom Page from Ontario Growers Supply about his work volunteering with the London Food Bank and his excitement qbout new technologies for growing food. youtu.be/Rp4fPhiiisY #LdnOnt

And that's just what Londoners have been doing for a week - digging deep, giving, being citizens extraordinaire, and putting community first. From all of us at the London Food Bank, thank you for particpating in the Thanksgiving Food Drive. It's been a week of meaning for us. #LdnOnt

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Here's to the future. #LdnOnt

Going into these last 2 days of the Thanksgiving Food Drive, we thank all of you who extended the bonds of connection in this community by donating. Hard times can bring out the best in a community and you're affirming that again this year. Please help if you can. #LdnOnt

The Thanksgiving Food Drive stands at 62,000 lbs, compared to 58,000 at this time last year. Londoners continue to show up when it's needed. This is the last big weekend for the drive. Help if you can, London, and thank you for your generosity this year. We know times are tough for many of you.

Glen and Jane talk to Cindy Thomas about what it's like to volunteer during a time of fast-paced change and numerous challenges. Lots of great learned knowledge about the London Food Bank here. youtu.be/sRdWuNhfrY4 #LdnOnt
