LADY JAYS

In addition to the work that Blue Jays players, coaches and staff do within the community, the organization is extremely proud of the Lady Jays and the time and effort they spend making Toronto a better place. Each year the Lady Jays support the following organizations:

Lady Jays Food Drive

Food Banks Canada

On July 16 & 17 the Lady Jays hosted their 27th Annual Food Drive in support of Food Banks Canada.

Food Banks Canada is made up of ten provincial associations and supports 450 food banks nationally. Their mission is to reduce hunger in Canada by enabling an effective food bank community that addresses the short term need for food and longer term solutions.

Fans offered their support by bringing non-perishable food items, giving monetary donations and purchasing mystery bags containing an autographed item for $25.00.

Overall, the Food Drive raised just over $19,800 and the non-perishable food collected during the weekend was shared with Food Banks Canada's local Affiliate Member food bank; the Daily Bread Food Bank. Daily Bread supports approximately 170 member agencies in running different kinds of food relief programs across Toronto. All proceeds went to Food Banks Canada.
