BRAMPTON, ON, Aug. 31, 2023 /CNW/ - Loblaw Companies Limited (TSX: L) will hold its first Get to Give Day on September 7, in support of President's Choice Children's Charity – which operates the nation's largest charitable school food program.

Quotes:

"For more than three decades, Loblaw colleagues, customers, store teams and vendors have come together to support President's Choice Children's Charity, helping to nurture the wellbeing of children in Canada," said Mark Wilson, Chief Human Resources Officer at Loblaw and Chair of President's Choice Children's Charity. "Canadians can join the movement to help feed 1 million kids by simply doing what they already do... buying groceries."

"We are grateful to our founding partner, Loblaw, and its customers for their support," remarked Lisa Battistelli, Executive Director, President's Choice Children's Charity. "We know that children experiencing hunger miss more school, find it difficult to concentrate and experience higher levels of anxiety. This donation will help us fuel even more Canadian students and remove hunger as a barrier to learning."

"The Power Full Kids™ program is the reason why I can offer any student who needs it access to start their day with a full tummy," explains Jay Poitras, Principal, Pauline Johnson Public School in Burlington, ON. "The program offers children security — knowing that they will get nutritious food at school every day relieves a huge burden from their little minds."
