Over the past six months, Ali’s NoFrills® in Toronto has donated almost 84,000 pounds of food to Faith Outreach Worship Centre, a Scarborough church that runs a busy food bank in the community. ”One major way the store helps out is through the Retail Food Recovery Program, which earmarks surplus food that is still fit for consumption for donation to organizations that help feed hungry folks in their communities, which doesn’t just help solve the problem of hunger, it also helps divert perfectly good food from going to landfill. Yes, I’m trying to sell food, but you also have to look at the fact that there are a lot of people out there who need help, and we can do something about it,” he says
