I GIVE 30
"Canada is blessed with so many gifts and I am saddened to see hungry children in communities across our country. It's not right. It should not be. That's why I am proud to join Give 30 to fight hunger across Canada, and right here in my amazing hometown of Winnipeg."
~ Ibrahim "Obby" Khan, Restaurateur & Former Center, Winnipeg Blue Bombers
"Ramadan is about understanding our neighbours' needs, it's about sharing, and it's about caring. That's why we should all work together to support food banks across Canada through Give 30, and show a great Canadian example to the world."
~ David Miller, Mayor of Toronto 2003-2010
"Ramadan is as Canadian as maple syrup and pancakes, which we can’t eat (until sunset). Be Canadian, be good, be giving. Most of all, support Give 30."
~ Zarqa Nawaz, Author and Creator of Little Mosque on the Prairie
"Food brings us together. Sharing food reinforces our sense of caring and interdependence with others. Too many of our friends and neighbours are going without enough to eat, despite their best efforts. Give 30 during Ramadan is an extension of Muslim tradition that everyone can take part in, and make our whole community stronger."
~ Gerard Kennedy, Former Member of Parliament and Ontario Legislature, and Executive Director at Daily Bread Food Bank 1986-1996 and Edmonton's Food Bank 1983-1986
“Ramadan is a tradition and month when we must give time, resources and of ourselves for the betterment of our families, neighbours and communities regardless of colour, creed or religion. Give 30 is an example of neighbour helping neighbour and our communities and cities being better for it. Let’s all give to and support Give 30.”
~ Zaib Shaikh, Canadian Producer, Director and Actor
"Community initiatives like Give 30 are important because they help to not only raise awareness in the community that hunger is a problem, but also mobilize people in the fight against hunger. Hunger doesn't take a holiday - it's a problem thousands of people across Toronto struggle with every day."
