Hi, my name is Debbie Field.
I’m the Executive Director of FoodShare,
and a proud United Way agency,
standing at the Festival Market in East Scarborough,
in a part of town that is often described as a food desert
because there is no place where you can get fresh locally grown food.
Here, FoodShare, working in partnership with five other agencies
including West Hill Community Centre, another great United Way agency,
have helped the community organize a miracle.
People are milling around, breaking down social isolation,
buying healthy food and really making Toronto a better place.
Without the United Way, we couldn’t be doing it. �
