The fund contributed $188,330 to 112 food banks and community food centres across Canada.

Founded in 1985, the Steelworkers Humanity Fund is a registered charitable organization that focuses primarily on development projects and emergency aid in developing countries, but also supports Canadian communities.

United Steelworkers members contribute to the fund through clauses negotiated into collective agreements.

Food bank volunteers Dewer Boutilier [left] and Melissa Tookey were also on hand for the presentation.
