Rabba Fine Foods joins industry-wide effort to deliver food to hungry kids

Company participates in Toonies for Tummies program, Feb. 4 to 18, 2021, as part of its Rabba Roots program

Mississauga, Ont., February 12– Rabba Fine Foods, the GTA’s neighborhood market, continues its annual Toonies for Tummies program to help fund nutritious meals for school-aged children across Canada. First introduced by The Grocery Foundation in 1979, the annual program has raised more than $90 million to date for the cause. Until February 18, Rabba personnel will invite customers to consider donations at point of purchase with the company prepared to top off the final amount with a donation from its Rabba Roots Community Program.

“Food insecurity is an extremely important issue, especially in our regions,” says Rick Rabba, president and CEO of Rabba Fine Foods. “It’s become even more pressing over the past year and we’re doing everything we can to be present for our neighbours when they need us most. We’re grateful for the work of The Grocery Foundation and are pleased to support them once more.”

Rabba first participated in Toonies for Tummies in 2015 and, after six years, the company and its customers have raised close to $30,000 for the program to date.
