Canadians Care Collective Fund 2020

 

We are excited to announce that effective April 17, 2020 Canadians Care Collective Fund and Markham Rotary Club Foundation have come together in a joint venture project.

We have three goals:

  1. To express gratitude to the individuals working in hospital and long-term care settings by bringing them individually wrapped meals. Each meal cost is approximately $15.

  2. To support our community by working with individually owned, local businesses, we are ‘Paying it Forward’ in our community to keep businesses alive and people employed.

  3. To unite Canadians in their communities and across the country.

How we work:

  • We work directly with hospital foundations and business owners to facilitate and organize delivery of these meals in a safe manner.

  • We work entirely on a volunteer basis.

  • No salaries are paid.

  • All meals are obtained from local restaurants to support their operation and employees during this strained economic time
