Days Inns - Canada Reunites with Food Banks Canada for Second Annual #FeedSummer Campaign
July 16 2024 - 8:15AM
Days Inns - Canada proudly announced today, for the second year in
a row, an impactful donation to Food Banks Canada in aid of their
Food For All initiative. This contribution helps replenish stock,
distribute substantial donations, and deliver perishable items to
Food Banks Canada's network of food banks across the country.
"Each day, people across the country are making the
heartbreaking decision of whether to eat, pay rent or give up
another basic essential," shared Erin Filey-Wronecki, Chief
Development and Partnerships Officer, Food Banks Canada. "Our
vision is for a Canada where no one goes hungry, and this means
helping food banks and their communities to support people who are
struggling to put meals on the table. Thank you, Days Inn, for
joining our mission to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger
tomorrow."
Expanding on its strong partnership with Food Banks Canada, Days
Inns - Canada's #FeedSummer campaign in support of local food banks
runs through some of Canada's busiest travel months until August
31, 2024. Guests and hotel teams are encouraged to take part by
making a monetary donation, by volunteering, or by contributing to
their local food bank to help provide food to those who urgently
need it most.
"Food bank use in Canada continues to rise at an alarming rate.
In addition to our corporate efforts, we are proud to have such
dedicated Days Inn owners, team members and guests who are
committed to serving their local communities by participating in
programs that help those in need," said Irwin Prince, President and
COO of Days Inns - Canada. "We are honoured to partner with Food
Banks Canada for our second consecutive year."
