Make the season kind. Support northern food banks

CBC North annually uses the Make the Season Kind campaign to have the public help us, help food banks across the territories to support those less fortunate during the holidays.

Contributions of food, money and time allow food banks to better respond to those in need. Our ask is simple please consider supporting your local food bankto help them support your community.

In fact, this year the need is stronger than ever to be charitable to those who have been less fortunate. Now is the perfect time to give back to your community. This holiday season, consider supporting northern food banks and help make this holiday season great for all.
