Rabba Fine Foods and Burnbrae Farms generously donated 5,400 eggs to the Mississauga Food Bank last week, just in time for Easter.
The local market and convenience store delivered the eggs to the Mississauga Food Bank on April 13th, as part of its Rabba Roots Community Giving program.
Rabba Fine Foods and Burnbrae Farms have been partners since 1968, and the two Ontario-based family companies share a deep-rooted commitment to local communities, including Milton, where the store is located at 10220 Derry Road.
“Our success is rooted at the community, neighbourhood level,” said Rima Rabba, Director of Marketing, Rabba Fine Foods. “It’s a real joy for us to work with partners like Burnbrae who do everything in their power to support our community partners and those in need.”
The Mississauga Food Bank will distribute the eggs through their network of food banks across the city and through their Food Bank 2 Home delivery program to homebound neighbours.
“The Mississauga Food Bank would like to thank Rabba Fine Foods, and its Rabba Roots Community Giving program for their ongoing commitment to supporting the food bank through a variety of initiatives throughout the years.
