VANCOUVER — Joel Gott Wines has committed to a donation of $10,000 to Food Banks BC through its Gott for Good initiative, which launched in 2019. As a Feeding America partner for the past three years, Gott has decided to expand the initiative to Canada.
“It’s no secret that with the cost of food, rent, and other essentials at an all-time high, families across Canada are struggling. Food banks are being stretched to their limits, but people rely on us more than ever,” says Cynthia Boulter, Chief Operating Officer at the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. “Donations like these are essential to help Food Banks fight hunger. When a partnership like this one happens, it spreads our reach, increases our profile. People look at this program and are interested in what people are giving their time to.”
“There’s nothing more important to me than putting food on the table for people. In the current economy, there’s no better time to do this,” says Joel Gott, vintner of Joel Gott Wines. “We really hope that our program, Gott for Good, encourages other people in the food-and-beverage industry to also get involved in fighting hunger in some way that works for them.”
