    Did you know that during the summer months 918,724 Canadians will access a food bank? This number is startling and shows that food donations are increasingly important during the summer months.

     Each year MOLLY MAID participates in a national Christmas in July food drive to help stock emptied food bank shelves. Food bank donations typically decrease in the summer months, so food drives such as these are much appreciated.  

    During Christmas in July MOLLY MAID clients are encouraged to fill up pink bags with non-perishable food items to be donated to local Salvation Army food banks.

    Franchises across the country have signed up to participate in the food drive and are working hard to collect as many monetary and non-perishable food donations as possible.

    Frank Sullivan, owner of MOLLY MAID Halifax says, “We thought it was a good community service and thought that the food was needed this time of year.”

    During the past 10 years MOLLY MAID franchises have donated over 160,000 pounds of food across the country to help those in need.
