Canada’s largest independent fertilizer supplier is helping to put food on the shelves of dozens of food banks around Ontario, including here in Chatham-Kent.
Sylvite in late 2024 handed out $30,000 to help purchase food for food banks around the province.
Here in Chatham-Kent, the Blenheim Food Bank, Chatham Outreach for Hunger and the Salvation Army each received $1,000 cheques from local Sylvite branches.
The Pain Court branch donated to Blenheim, while the Kent Bridge operation sent funds to Outreach for Hunger, and the Blenheim team supported Salvation Army.
The 2024 contribution brings Sylvite’s donations to help food banks to $130,000.
The fertilizer supplier has 15 locations throughout Southwestern and Central Ontario.
“Supporting our neighbours is a responsibility we take seriously,” Sylvite CEO Hugh Loomans said in a media release. “Food security affects so many working families, and we hope this year’s donation makes a meaningful impact.”
