To donate by phone, call our operators at 1-855-700-SOTS (1-855-700-7687).
This CBC Sounds of the Season Donation Hotline will be staffed weekdays from 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, except for special hours on December 1, 2 and 17, when phone lines will be open:
If we are unable to answer your call, please leave a message and a member of our team will get back to you as quickly as possible.
Run a food drive through your GTA school in support of your local food bank, and you could win CBC Sounds of the Season School Challenge! The school that collects the most food by December 22 (proportional to its student population) will win a pizza lunch for the entire school, courtesy of Pizza Pizza, and an assembly visit by a CBC VIP guest.* Click here to learn more.
Rally your neighbours and run a food drive on your street, your block, in your building, or throughout your entire neighbourhood.
The first 100 CBC fans who register their food drive and drop off their food by December 17 will receive a special CBC Sounds of the Season toque as thanks.* Click here to learn more.

Daily Bread Food Bank and North York Harvest Food Bank are hosting a community event on December 17. Stay tuned for more details.
The items we need most right now are canned fish/fruits/veggies, oatmeal and nut butters. You can find a printable PDF of these most-needed items here.
Here’s how you can get food donations to us:
Tell your loved ones about how you’re working to fight hunger this holiday season and rally their support! Together, we can make a difference for our neighbours facing food insecurity.
And don’t stop at your friends and family. Tell your local officials that poverty reduction needs to become a priority in our communities. Food is a human right, and no one should face barriers in accessing the food they need. All levels of government must prioritize affordable housing, living wages and sufficient social assistance. To learn more, read our newly released Who’s Hungry 2022 report that examines current trends in food bank use and food insecurity, as well as what needs to be done to realize the Right to Food for all.

Thank you for your generous support of Daily Bread through CBC Sounds of the Season!
