TORONTO — In acknowledgment of World Hunger Action Month this month, Denny’s Canada has announced its continued collaboration with Feed Ontario.
With two extra locations added to this year’s fundraising initiative, guests can treat themselves to a delicious $4.99 Original Grand Slam from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST at any of the following Denny’s Ontario locations: London, Oakville, Hamilton, Gardiners Rd., Benson St, Guelph, Barrie & Dixie Road. This year also marks the second year of the vital partnership in support of ending food poverty through research, advocacy, and innovative programming.
Supplying more than five million pounds of fresh food each year, Feed Ontario supports several local food banks and food programs. Feed Ontario’s mission is to champion an impactful network of hunger-relief organizations and advocate for solutions to end food insecurity and poverty in Ontario.
“We couldn’t do this important work without the generosity of partners like Denny’s Canada,” says Carolyn Stewart, CEO of Feed Ontario. “We are extremely grateful for being selected as the beneficiary of Denny’s Grand Slam event day and we thank the Denny’s locations throughout the province who helped raise over $15,000 that will support food banks all across Ontario — that is the equivalent of over 30,000 meals for Ontarian families facing hunger. We are so grateful to their team for their continued support, and look forward to our next Grand Slam Event in September.”
Thanks to the generosity of its guests, Denny’s Canada has been able to donate more than $15,000 to Feed Ontario to date, underscoring its dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Canada’s most vulnerable populations, and the many communities across Ontario.
“Providing good food and supporting local communities have been pillars of Denny’s brand for decades,” says Ron Cecillon, managing director – Denny’s Canada, Bar One & Northland Signature Restaurant Group. “We are proud to carry on this tradition with our Slam Day fundraiser, supporting Feed Ontario. Feed Ontario is an outstanding organization that aims to end hunger in the province of Ontario, and we could not be happier to support this great cause with what we do best.”
