Corporate volunteers play a HUGE role at Daily Bread. In addition to supporting our work financially and through food donations, last year 6,665 awesome employees volunteered 22,167 hours of their valuable time to help us sort 1,722,394 pounds of food. And, our community champions donated their time by 
volunteering, hosting and organizing over 350 drives in their school, club or faith group. What all these big numbers really mean is that you are helping us to distribute hundreds of thousands of food hampers to individuals and families and millions of meals for people in Toronto struggling with hunger.
Daily Bread has over 10,000 volunteers who help us throughout the year. Volunteers are the heart of Daily Bread. It is amazing and humbling to see the number of volunteers who regularly come in and help us in the fight against hunger. They help us answer the phones, input data, make the boxes, sort the food, palletize the sorted food, get out the orders, prepare the meals, wash the dishes, haul the garbage, clean up, greet the volunteers, serve clients at the food bank, give info to clients and refer them to other resources, work at special events like public food sorts and Canstruction … and in other ways, big and small, throughout the year!
