Waterloo and Kitchener businesses team up to give back to hungry local families [Video]

Businesses in Kitchener and Waterloo teamed up with others around the area to give back to local families this holiday season.

Metal Supermarkets, a metal supply chain, had the idea to show gratitude to the community by teaming up with a number of local businesses to provide funds and food to those in need.

“All the food banks are dwindling. There’s not much more,” said Metal Supermarkets Kitchener/Waterloo Manager Lexi Lorentz. “For us, it’s just so important to be able to give to these families that are in our community and that need help this year.”

The business put out the call to other businesses between the two cities. Stores like NoFrills and Estas Chocolates stepped up to help.

“Whenever something like this comes along, I’m very happy to be able to give back,” said Paul and Mallory’s NoFrills owner Paul Doyle.
