Ontario Egg Donation Program marks 10th anniversary

Who: Egg Farmers of Ontario

What: At Egg Farmers of Ontario’s (EFO) 60th Annual General Meeting in Niagara Falls, Ont., the organization marked the 10th anniversary of the Ontario Egg Donation Program.

In partnership with Feed Ontario, Burnbrae Farms and L. H. Gray, the program provides Feed Ontario’s member food banks with eggs to support communities in need.

To date, about 1.5 million dozen eggs have been donated.

"Egg farmers across our province have always understood the importance of a strong community," said EFO Chair Scott Helps. "The Ontario Egg Donation Program ensures the many families that make up our communities are able to access the healthy and nutritious egg."

To celebrate the milestone, EFO, Burnbrae Farms and L. H. Gray have worked together to strengthen their support of the program. 

EFO is increasing their commitment to $350,000 this year.

Feed Ontario represents a network of more than 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations across Ontario.
