Toronto-based Sunpan Modern Home, a resource for transitional and contemporary furniture, has announced the increase of its monetary donations to Daily Bread Food Bank for the month of April to support COVID-19 relief efforts.
According to Daily Bread, a third of food bank clients are children and it has seen a 53% increase in overall visits at its on-site food bank. It expects the trend will increase due to COVID-19 layoffs.
Daily Bread also explained its challenges of trying to feed families in need while facing unique pandemic-related challenges, such as significant decreases in donations, food bank closures and adjustments to safe distribution methods.
As a long-standing partner of Daily Bread, Sunpan aims to spread awareness of the struggle that community members are facing during this difficult time and to encourage others to also support where they can.
