Striking postal workers in Toronto’s west end are giving their time this holiday season to bring smiles to the faces of children in the community, while also helping their local food bank.
Striking Canada Post workers continue annual Santa letter tradition, while also helping Toronto food bankA new campaign called Spreading Christmas Cheer: Bringing the Community Together for Love, Care, and Giving is inviting peopel to drop off letters to Santa and non-perishable food at NYHFB.
For several years, scores of Canada Post workers across the country have volunteered to prepare responses to the letters children mail to Santa Claus. However, due to the strike, that initiative has been paused. North York Harvest Food Bank is located just across the street from a large Canada Post station at 66 Ray Ave. After completing their strike duty, workers who want to take part in the Sant letter effort can easily walk over and help out.“It’s a perfect opportunity for both of us to come together. … We’re trying to make something positive out of a tough time,” said Fahey, who has worked as a Canada Post mail carrier for two and a half years.
The organization went on to say postal workers are not only ensuring that children’s letters to Santa are answered, but they’re also “standing in solidarity with their community to support food access for those who need it most.”
