Spring Hope Food Drive 2024

Spring is in the air, and with it comes another wave of generosity through our annual Spring Hope Food Drive! 

From April 10 – 24, we will be collecting items in Skyline Living communities across the country to support local food banks. We will be matching donations at $1 per pound/$1 donated! 

Tenants can use this link to donate directly to Food Banks Canada.
