Sales of Firehouse Chef Cookbook raises money for 800lbs of potatoes for the Food Bank

We are delivering 800lbs of Yukon gold potatoes to the Food Bank of Waterloo Region: all money was from the sale of Firehouse Chef Cookbooks in the month of December 2016.

Bradys raises $6660 for feedfive (1148 meals!)

This holiday season, Bradys staff and customers raised $6660 for feedfive, a local not-for-profit organization that sells t-shirts and aprons, and uses the profits to purchase the ingredients needed to cook five meals for five hungry people in the Waterloo Region's homeless shelters!

We raised enough money to provide 1148 meals!

We raised $2121 for Cystic Fibrosis!

Thanks to all our generous customers, Grainharvest Breadhouse, and Mike Farwell of Country 106.7 — we raised $2121 in support of Cystic Fibrosis research from our charity barbecue on Saturday, May 21st!

In March 2016, the Be a Good Egg social media campaign asked people to vote for their favourite food bank. The Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank ended up coming third in the province, meaning they were going to receive $200 of meat from the campaign organizers. But Ontario Meat & Poultry and Brady's decided to match and surpass that amount! We donated 68 lbs of beef brisket, 80 lbs of ground turkey, and 300 lbs of potatoes, a total of $1100!

For more information and photos, see the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank's Facebook post.
