WFIM has a great tradition of giving, one that our members are very proud of. As Food Industry Professionals, bringing food to the table makes us particularly sensitive to doing whatever we can to nourish the needy. In that regard, we support charitable causes related to hunger relief and food rescue.<\/span><\/p>\n As Women, we also support charitable causes related to the support or development of women. In addition, when we have Speakers at our events, the Speaker’s honourarium may be donated to their charity of choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Second Harvest<\/a><\/b> Heifer International<\/a><\/b> Children’s Breakfast Clubs<\/a> Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada<\/a> Eitz Chaim School<\/a> Alzheimer’s Society of Waterloo-Wellington<\/a> Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation<\/a>![](\"https:\/\/wfim.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/second_harvest_logo.jpg\"){kind=logo}
