This is a time to step up and support those who need it most, friend.

Today, Justin Trudeau announced our Liberal government’s latest step to support Canadians impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. The government will provide $100 million to food banks and food organizations across Canada to help meet the urgent food needs of vulnerable Canadians.

As many Canadians turn to these vital organizations to feed their families, and with fewer donations and volunteers to count on, it’s more important than ever to make sure they have the necessary resources to keep helping people in our communities.

From coast to coast to coast, Canadians like you have also stepped up to help keep your family, friends, and community safe and healthy. To those of you who have supported organizations that provide relief for the many Cnadians facing food insecurity: thank you – and thank you to all frontline workers stepping up at this important moment.

If you have not yet given to a food bank, and have the capacity to do so, please consider giving today. Your support can make a big difference! You can visit FoodBanksCanada.ca as one option for more information on how to help.

Last week, our Liberal government also announced that it will be covering 75% of wages for qualifying businesses and non-profits, as well as providing $2,000 a month for the next 4 months to Canadians who lose their income because of COVID-19, through the new Canada Emergency Response Benefit.

Thank you, friend – and all my best.
