New grassroots fundraiser boosts The Table Community Food Centre

A new grassroots fundraising initiative has been bringing in donations to The Table this holiday season. Toonies for The Table received wide support from local businesses in Perth as well as the Downtown Business Improvement Association and Chamber of Commerce. Spearheaded by volunteer Anne McCrae, over 100 mason jars were repurposed to collect donations and placed at local businesses. Perth’s generous community spirit is clear from the results with $3,758 collected to date. The effort also caught the attention of Howard McRae of Topps Environmental Solutions. The company will donate $10,000 to the Table to be split between their Perth operation and their expansion into Smiths Falls with the Falls Food Hub.

Ramsey Hart, Executive Director of The Table noted that “the Table is extremely grateful to Anne for developing the concept and successfully implementing the Toonies for the Table campaign. At this time of rising food costs we can certainly use the increased financial support. The campaign also improved our exposure in town and allowed us to reach new donors.”

On Saturday December 16th, at 11:20 am at the Crystal Palace, representatives of The Table, the Chamber of Commerce, the DBIA and Topps Environmental Solutions will be meeting with Anne for a The Toonies for The Table campaign celebration and cheque presentation. Toonies for The Table continues until December 22.
