Imagine having a dream to do something that would make a real difference in your community – and then being given the opportunity to turn that dream into reality. With #MakeTodayMatter, that's exactly what happened in communities across North America, as TD customers from Vancouver to Halifax and Boston to Miami found out they were being given the chance to bring their ideas to life – in the next 24 hours.
For this holiday season, the girls held a food drive to collect canned goods. The original goal was to feed at least 10 families a modest Thanksgiving dinner. The food drive quickly surpassed that goal when Publix generously donated a large amount of non-perishable foods. The goal then quickly turned into feeding 20 families. Ultimately, we raised nearly $1000, collected many frozen turkeys and many more canned goods.
Continuing this holiday season, the girls held a toy and food drive to make a difference in families' Christmas. We were able to spread our love to five families, and hope to be able to continue this tradition every year.
Our ECFamily continues to give back to the community by assisting in the upkeep of a local church group's mango field. In this effort, Coach Shelia Ross is pictured using a fifteen-foot pruning pole, helping to maintain the orchard and support the church's mission.
