Charity Request - Photos for Food
Dear Friends and Family,
As many of you know, my wife, Krista Ellis, is a very talented photographer. She had an exhibit scheduled for this year’s Contact Photography Festival, which unfortunately, was cancelled due to COVID-19. However, she has decided to display her exhibit on-line with the proceeds of the sales going to support the Oasis Dufferin Community Centre, a food bank in our neighborhood in Toronto.
If you are interested in photography and supporting a worthy cause at a time when food banks desperately need our help, please visit the website:
www.photosforfoodshop.ca
Many thanks,
Sean McFarling
General Counsel, LiUNA OPDC & LiUNA CECOF
