Statement: MP Sahota Highlights The Heart Lake Baptist Church Food Pantry
December 11, 2020

 

Food insecurity is an issue that affects Canadians all across the country and right here at home in Brampton North. While the Government has done important work in ending food insecurity in Canada, the contributions of charities and non-profits are crucial in solving this problem once and for all. Watch MP Sahota thank the Heart Lake Baptist Church Food Pantry for their incredible work or read the transcript here:

 

"Madam Speaker, this holiday season has been unlike any other and has brought unique challenges while exacerbating older ones.

Food insecurity in Brampton and all across Canada has only increased due to the pandemic. While our government has invested another $100 million to support food banks and food security groups, I am grateful to all our local organizations working hard to provide the essentials that families need to get by.

In my riding of Brampton North, the Heart Lake Baptist Church food pantry has done amazing work, providing fresh, healthy foods, handmade scarves and hats, and baby supplies to those who need it most.

The Heart Lake Baptist Church is a prime example of how important faith-based organizations are in helping us get through this pandemic. The Heart Lake Baptist Church truly embodies the Christian principles of generosity of spirit and of helping thy neighbour. I thank all of them for their hard work. I wish them all a very merry Christmas."
