Sunday January 7th saw the startup of the Gurdwara Food Bank. GGSCF made food packages for distribution to International Students who are in need of some basic groceries, due to financial hardship as all of us experience when we first come to Canada. Students in need were encouraged to seek help. A survey of the students also found that there are different categories of students; those who have financial support from back home or from family members who are living in Canada, however, there are those who are alone, due to not have support from back home, those who would like to work part time but cannot get jobs. It is this latter category that need support. The GGSCF will collect and distribute both from the Gurdwara and the Sangat who donate the food. Packages of food contain basics (Atta, Rice, Chickpeas, Dal, Salt, Sugar) in quantities sufficient for about a week.

How can you help: donate any non-perishables food items, let student know who desperately needs help. On the jobs situation let us know if you are aware of anyone hiring and we can pass on this information to all those seeking part time work. Most important if some is lonely and needs a big brother or big sister let us know. For all you can reach us mail@ggscf.com or text at 416-564-3939.
