BBC Initiatives








While most of us are safely hunkered down at home, what happens to our poor, the infirmed and elderly? Most of these people cannot even afford groceries during this crisis, let alone travel outside their home.

B’nai Brith was forced to close its daily meal program for seniors, veterans and the needy last March. In its place, an emergency response plan was created. Hopefully, this will provide some comfort to the needy and those at-risk within the GTA.

The cost per week is $75 to feed one family. To sponsor bag(s) or further support this B’nai Brith emergency initiative, contact us.

Can you volunteer to prepare and deliver food bags?

As little as one hour a week of volunteering can save a life. All volunteers must be healthy adults, and proper social distancing and compliance with public health measures will be enforced. To volunteer, please e-mail foodv@bnaibrith.ca.


B’nai Brith Canada is proud to offer an easy solution for those looking to donate items but have too much for our donation boxes. Continuing with the Jewish custom of tzedakah, we respectfully suggest donating them to B’nai Brith. These can be items of a deceased loved one, a downsizing move, or an estate purge.

B'nai Brith Canada operates a clothing bin donation program which we highly value and is an essential lifeline in our community. We redistribute items to seniors, new immigrants, war veterans, individuals with disabilities and those who are living at or below the poverty line.

B’nai Brith makes it simple. Just give us a call at 416-633-6224 ext. 120 between 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. on Fridays, and one of our trained, compassionate specialists will arrange to come to your home, free of charge anywhere in the GTA and surrounding areas.
