• The benefits of engaging your staff and stakeholders in the conversation
• Steps to take if you're starting your journey and mistakes to avoid.

This month the charity we’re highlighting is Food Banks Canada. Food Banks Canada is a national charitable organization dedicated to helping Canadians living with food insecurity. They support a network of Provincial Associations, affiliate food banks, and food agencies that work at the community level to relieve hunger. Their work is focused on maximizing collective impact, strengthening local capacity, and reducing the need for food banks. If you haven’t had a chance yet, after listening we encourage you to visit foodbankscanada.ca/ to donate what you can.
