14 November 2024, Mississauga: Bayer Canada is proud to announce a contribution of $90,000 to Food Banks Canada’s After the Bell program, alongside nearly 2,000 kg of non-perishable goods and consumer products. These essential supplies will be distributed to food banks in Toronto, Winnipeg, and Calgary, directly supporting families in need.
As part of its annual ThanksForGiving campaign, Bayer Canada encourages employees to engage in initiatives that address food insecurity, reflecting the company’s commitment to its mission of promoting Health for All, Hunger for None.
Since its inception in 2018, Bayer‘s ThanksForGiving campaign has inspired employees to collect funds and non-perishable items through a month-long initiative that includes a creative canstruction challenge. Participants design and build structures using in-demand non-perishable goods, which are then donated to local food banks in communities where Bayer operates.
This year, the campaign successfully gathered close to 2,000 kg of non-perishable goods along with over $17,000 in employee contributions, all directed toward Food Banks Canada’s After the Bell program.
“Bayer’s employees are deeply committed to supporting our communities,” said Antoine Bernet, Senior Bayer Representative for Canada. “In light of the challenges that many Canadian families are facing, we feel a strong responsibility to contribute in meaningful ways. The enthusiasm and generosity displayed by our team this year has been inspiring and underscores our dedication to achieving our global mission.”
“It is an extremely difficult time for many, with over two million visits taking place to food banks across the country. Alarmingly, 700,000 of those visits this month will be made by children,” shared Kirstin Beardsley Chief Executive Officer, Food Banks Canada. “With the continued increase in demand, we greatly appreciate our partnership with Bayer Canada. Through this partnership we are able to help support our After the Bell program, which provides nutritious, child-friendly food packs throughout the summer when school-centred support is not available.”
Bayer Canada’s ongoing efforts through the ThanksForGiving campaign exemplify the company’s commitment to making a tangible impact in the fight against food insecurity, demonstrating that collective action can lead to meaningful change in the lives of those who need it most.
