Richardson GMP helps keep Daily Bread moving


TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Richardson GMP announced a three-year, $100,000 sponsorship of Daily Bread Food Bank's food delivery trucks used for distribution of food to their 126 member agencies. This sponsorship is part of the firm's national effort to support Canadian charities not only financially but also through volunteer efforts. "Our firm's principles include our commitment to our communities and our shared hope to make where we live a better place for all" says CEO Andrew Marsh. "As part of this effort, we are proud to announce our commitment over the next 3 years to reinforce our support of Daily Bread and their essential work in the Toronto area."

Sarah Widmeyer, Director of Wealth Strategies at Richardson GMP, adds "No parent should struggle to feed their child. It is important for us as a firm to not only provide financial support of Daily Bread but to continue to match it with the volunteer manpower of our employees and families."

Richardson GMP has been donating to Daily Bread since Dan Dervaitis, Director of Business Strategy and Analysis, initiated the firm's relationship after a volunteer shift at the warehouse five years ago. Since then Richardson GMP has consistently mobilized employee volunteers to sort over 45,000 pounds of food to help fight hunger. The hours and hard work are matched by donations from these employees to have an even bigger impact.

"Partnerships like this are vital to the work we do. It's heartwarming to know we can always count on their help and enthusiasm for the community," says Neil Hetherington, CEO of Daily Bread Food Bank. "Richardson GMP is full of passionate people who really want to make a difference and move the needle on hunger in Toronto".
