Blaneys partnered again this year with our friends from the Scadding Court Community Centre (SCCC) on a Thanksgiving Food Drive. Working together, we collected enough food to fill 200 hampers for SCCC to distribute to seniors living within their community. The need this year is as great as it has ever been as food insecurity continues to be a reality for so many people.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the start of our relationship with SCCC, when our late partner, Bill McMurtry and the late Kevin Lee of Scadding Court Community Centre, came together to create the Investing in our Diversity Scholarship Program - known today as the Toronto Community Housing Investing in Our Diversity (IIOD) Scholarship program – to support deserving young students in Toronto.
