Allison* is a single Mom of two, now shouldering the care of her elderly mother. She is working two jobs to make ends meet. Skyrocketing inflation and soaring cost of living have pushed her family to the brink. When she first came to Caledon Community Services, Allison felt a mix of emotions. She found the courage to share:

“Thank you for allowing me to use the pantry. It was difficult for me to ask for help, and I almost didn’t come in. You were very welcoming and despite my awkwardness it wasn’t so bad. Thanks again.”

Your generosity will make a world of difference for Allison and hundreds of Caledon neighbours like her. Thanks to you, they have somewhere to turn to when life doesn't go as planned. Your gift of $ 1000 can help feed a family of four for a month. Best news of all, thanks to our friends at Mars Canada*, your gift will be DOUBLED to help TWICE the number of families in need!

* Mars Canada will kindly match all Season of Hope gifts up to $ 25,000!
