MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Rabba Fine Foods has partnered with Maple Leaf Foods and Burnbrae Farms to extend a donation to Food Banks Mississauga. Through Rabba Roots Community Giving program, Rabba delivered 5,400 eggs and 250 pounds of ham Easter.
“At Rabba Fine Foods, our commitment to serving our neighbours extends beyond our storefronts,” says Rima Rabba, co-leader of the Rabba Roots Community Giving program. “We’re privileged to collaborate with valued partners such as Burnbrae Farms and Maple Leaf Foods, who share our vision of making a positive impact in our communities.”
“Partnering with Rabba for our annual Easter egg donation is an important tradition for us,” says Margaret Hudson, president and CEO of Burnbrae Farms. “We value partners such as Rabba who share our commitment to addressing the needs of local communities year-round by providing them with quality, nutritious food sourced from our local farms.”
“After years of collaboration with Rabba Fine Foods to support their community efforts, Maple Leaf Foods is proud to partner in this initiative to amplify the impact of the Easter donation,” says Stephen Carroll, Customer Business Development manager at Maple Leaf Foods.
“Our community continues to face food insecurity at astounding rates, and we’re projecting that Food Banks Mississauga and our network of [more than] 65 agency members will see 58,000 neighbours in need by the end of May, which is a 63-per-cent increase compared to last year,” says Linda Bruce, Food Procurement/Donations specialist of Food Banks Mississauga. “We’re grateful to Rabba, Maple Leaf Foods and Burnbrae Farms for their donation to support neighbours living with food insecurity in this time of growing need across Mississauga.”
