The modern mind is conditioned to evaluate rather than understand. We have so many challenges in London but one fact is irrefutable - there are thousands of citizens who give their life to this community without any reward because they know they are needed. They are the best of us.

The need is great but I have learned over 40 years at the London Food Bank that our community is greater. I know this is the season for giving but we thank all of you for your abundant giving year-round. We take our challenges in-stride because you always have our back.

It's amazing to think that all of these boxes will be full by the end of this weekend thanks to the marvellous generosity of Londoners. Special thanks to Business Cares and the hundreds of volunteers making it allo possible. Given these challenging times, it's appreciated more than you know.

Vital days ahead for the London Food Bank. With so many groups asking for assistance, added to the 40+ agencies we already assist, it's clear our community is n a food insecurity crisis. The food bank board is already hard at work discerning how to respond. Help if you can ... and thank you.

The great paradox of public life is that when governments retreat, non-profits quietly advance. They absorb the shock of unjust cuts with a steadiness rooted not in budgets but in moral conviction. They become the humanitarian reach of government - its last remaining hope.

What a kickoff to the Tim Horton's Smile Cookie campaign for the London Food Bank. It's a big thing for us given the increase in demand. So many great folks took part and the staff of Tim's was terrific. Buy a cookie and help out if you can.

On Volunteer Corner, Glen talks to two great champions - Margaret Hopkins and Eleanor Huber. Their help for the food bank has been stellar but it's in their efforts for the Old South community and Wortley Village that their influence has been truly amazing.

Our parents and grandparents fought a war to give us peace and freedom. Then they came home and built a country to match. Let's do the same, respecting our distinctions and commonalities. Let's pick up their torch and build again, with kindness and understanding. Our kids deserve it.

We were delighted to have received a $100,000 donation from an anonymous giver yesterday. The donor understood the pressures we are facing and the timing was perfect. London is a city of giving and we thank everyone for affirming it time and time again.
