Volunteers - while other organizations had to limit operations, or even close, with the arrival of the pandemic, the London Food Bank announced that it was expanding its operations. With fewer places to volunteer, scores of Londoners came to the food bank location seeking to make a difference in a troubling time. Volunteer numbers doubled during the pandemic to over 3000 - an army of caring Londoners still helping the food bank today.
During the challenging times of the pandemic, Glen Pearson, co-director of the London Food Bank, witnessed remarkable community spirit. These stories highlight the resilience and generosity of the London community during an unprecedented crisis.
Glen Pearson is a former professional firefighter, a federal member of parliament, and for the past 35 years has been co-director of the London Food Bank. He is a writer and continues to assist with development projects overseas.
