The food!
Hi Friends,
Surprise! I am still in Oakville. Today was supposed to be departure day but I was feeling a little too disorganized to hit the road this morning. The 3-hour sleep didn't help either. I decided to give myself this extra day and head out tomorrow in the morning. I am super glad I made this choice because I am already feeling much more prepared and EXCITED!
Today I had the chance to visit Dudley Clarke at the FareShare Food Bank in Oakville. We encouraged the attendees of the Roadtrip with Reason launch party to bring some food goods with them, as we were collecting food to donate to the local food bank. My friends and family did not disappoint! We ended up raising about 400 pounds of food. 400 POUNDS! Impressive, I think.

A lot of people don't even realize that there is a need for food banks in Oakville. We were informed that the FairShare Food Bank has been around for 23 years and is 100% volunteer run. Dudley (who has been a volunteer there for 19 years) also said that they serve about 1100 families every month. Clearly, there is a need .....and they aren't the only food bank in Oakville.
Big thanks to my friends & family for helping out with food donations. Dudley was a happy man when we showed up!
Can't wait to meet many more like Dudley throughout the next 3-months.
Love Love Love!
Warmly,
