In a social media post, Crombie expressed her well-wishes for a peaceful holiday and urged residents to assist vulnerable families facing food insecurity.
“Happy Thanksgiving, Ontario! As we begin this special weekend, I wish you peace and joy, and encourage you to support those who are most vulnerable in our communities,” Crombie posted.

The Ontario Liberal leader emphasized the importance of supporting local food banks, encouraging donations to help address food shortages and assist those in need. “Please consider making a donation to your local food bank,” Crombie urged, sharing a link to Feed Ontario’s directory of food banks across the province. The organization provides a list of food banks where individuals can make contributions and support local efforts to fight hunger.
Rising inflation and high food prices have put pressure on food banks, with demand increasing as more families face financial hardships. According to Feed Ontario, more people are turning to food banks, making donations essential for maintaining services and supporting the community.
This call to action aligns with Crombie’s ongoing advocacy for addressing social inequalities and improving support for low-income families in Ontario. The provincial Liberals, under Crombie’s leadership, have emphasized the need for stronger social programs and measures to reduce poverty.
As Thanksgiving festivities bring communities together, Crombie’s message serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by many families and the opportunity for others to lend a helping hand.
