Brant businesses band together to support local food bank

Businesses in Brantford have banded together to support their local food bank.

Ironstone Entrance Technologies launched an initiative dubbed “Brant Businesses Answer the Call – COVID-19 Response.”

The goal is to raise at least $10,000 in donations to purchase 10 full pallets of food for the food bank by Friday.

Over 60 businesses have already signed on to participate and raised over $6,000 in donations.

“We need more good news for our community and the world and that’s why our company has launched this special campaign,” said Cam Bell, co-founder and co-owner of Ironstone Entrance Technologies in a news release. “Sure, we run a successful business, but when we heard that our local Food Bank’s shelves are bare, we immediately stepped up to the plate and we know our collective efforts will put a smile on everyone’s faces during these unprecedented times.”

Any local businesses in Brantford that want to help support the campaign, can contact Ironstone at 866-268-2262, or email feedbrantford@ietinc.ca.
