We know many people in Ontario have gone through a lot of hardship this holiday season as a result of the ice storm. I want to thank the retailers who have generously donated to this initiative. We want to make sure we are doing everything we can to support people who need the help so that they are safe and cared for during this difficult time.[size=2.5em]”

We proudly make this donation knowing the funds will give food to families in a unique time of need. In good times and in bad, Loblaw tries to be a leader in hunger relief. This donation is part of our year-round, nationwide effort to help those who need food most. We are very pleased to work with the Premier and the Province in helping people in need.[size=2.5em]”
