Hi everyone! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season. I wanted to let you know about a cool event I’m doing with my dad, Eric Alper, and we have partnered with local Toronto restaurant Rancho Relaxo To Go to give back to those in need during this season of giving.
I’m launching the #FeedTO day-long event on Monday, December 21st at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto at 9:00am followed by riding in and directing the Rancho Relaxo food truck along the area of Yonge and College, Bathurst and Bloor, and Dufferin and King to hand out hot and ready breakfast meals donated by the restaurant. Eric, myself and Rancho Relaxo will be posting on their social media accounts throughout the day.
I have always been passionate about giving back to the community, and we will also make stops at local police stations including Toronto Police Headquarters at 40 College Street around 10:30am, fire halls and the Toronto Humane Society to give out meals as a humble way of saying thank-you for their service to the people (and pets) of the city.
I am very aware that there are many people in our city that don’t have basic needs met every day. They don’t have food and homes and I hope that I can make a difference. I know that I can’t solve the huge issues of homelessness and hunger, but I believe that little things add up to make a difference. If we all make an effort to try to help and do what we can, I think that it will go a long way.
From Noon-2:00pm, we will be at the SiriusXM building at Liberty Street and Fraser Avenue in Liberty Village in Toronto where a full-menu of food items will be available for a Pay-What-You-Can initiative, with all proceeds going to the Daily Bread Food Bank. A social media post on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram tagged with #FeedTO is encouraged, along with the donation, for people to show their act of giving and challenge their followers to do the same.
Social media plays a huge role in our daily lives and spread the word about great ideas and what people are doing to make the world a better place. Every post and tweet helps to bring awareness to the issue and also to let people know that they can do something to help.
We hope to donate more than 500 meals to feed hungry individuals and hopes to raise more than $5,000 for the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Follow along, and see you next Monday!
