Here&#8217;s to Their Incredible Contributions!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Volunteers are the backbone of food banks. They give their time, energy and care to meeting clients\u2019 needs, whether they\u2019re staffing the warehouse, delivering much-needed meal staples during nasty weather or helping those experiencing food insecurity to access social supports and community connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Banks Canada doesn\u2019t collect statistics on the ages of food bank volunteers. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www150.statcan.gc.ca\/n1\/pub\/89-652-x\/89-652-x2015003-eng.htm#a6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">broader Canadian statistics <\/a>show how vital seniors are for volunteer-driven organizations, which include most food banks. On National Seniors Day, we\u2019re shouting out to the indispensable role of people over 55 in everything the food bank network is achieving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Statistics Canada, younger demographics such as teens volunteer at the highest rates, but seniors \u2014 particularly those 65 to 74 years old \u2014 contribute the most hours of any age group to Canada\u2019s volunteer workforce, both individually and as a group. In fact, <strong>the average senior volunteer gives 231 hours a year of their time!<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, seniors often give much more than time. Here\u2019s just a brief glimpse of the impact of their deep and exceptional service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seeing It Through<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This past summer, George and Erlinda Biondic \u2013 73 and 85 respectively \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmarkettoday.ca\/local-news\/aurora-seniors-raise-thousands-for-food-banks-on-arduous-pei-trek-11024533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">raised thousands for food banks<\/a> when they undertook and finished an ambitious trek: the <strong>700-kilometre<\/strong> coastal Island Walk Trail that circles Prince Edward Island.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Biondics are accomplished athletes, each having set ultrarunning records in their age category. (In 2023, George set three new Canadian records by completing 550 kilometres in six days, while in 2022 Erlinda set a world record for women over 80 by covering 403 kilometres in six days.) The couple\u2019s province-girding walk let them raise money for a cause they supported, while doing what they loved.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To work their way around PEI, the couple used two vehicles: their own, which they stocked with food and dubbed \u201cthe kitchen,\u201d and a rented minivan with enough room to lie down and sleep, which they called \u201cthe bedroom.\u201d Parking these vehicles at strategic points each day, the Biondics then walked a section of the Trail before collecting the vehicles and bedding down at campsites along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>George Biondic described how each morning, the couple rose at 4:00 a.m., made their preparations and arrangements, and set off to tackle upwards of 20 kilometers each day. They used paper maps for route planning \u2014&nbsp; a choice he wryly acknowledged may have been misguided. \u201cUnfortunately, Google Maps was a foreign concept to us,\u201d he told <em>The Auroran<\/em>. Their paper maps often didn\u2019t have the names of all the local roads, leading to occasional wrong turns.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the duo persevered. As they made their way around the island, their reputation preceded them. Locals cheered them on and even offered to feed them.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple returned home safely in July, having raised more than $7,000 for the Aurora Food Bank in the Ontario town they call home. Biondic describes it as the hardest physical challenge that the couple has ever undertaken \u2014 which is saying something, considering their combined athletic statistics. But when asked if they ever considered cutting their walk short, Biondic was firm that stopping wasn\u2019t an option. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t,\u201d he told <em>The Auroran<\/em>. \u201cNot while people needed food. We knew we had to continue going on.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In It for the Long Haul<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s heartening to see senior food bank volunteers honoured for their time, dedication and energy by their communities \u2014 like when the Royal Canadian Legion in Powassan, Ontario, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baytoday.ca\/local-news\/85-year-old-powassan-food-bank-volunteer-recognized-for-20-years-service-9444154\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gifted 20-year-veteran food bank volunteer Betty Leblanc<\/a> with a celebration (planned in secret, of course, by friends, family and town council members). Leblanc, now 86, began volunteering at her local food bank after the death of her husband in 2004, when the organization was just a few years old. Now, she is a \u201cfixture\u201d and has watched the food bank evolve from stocking only canned goods to incorporating fresh fruits and veggies from local farmers and specialty diet items, even as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nugget.ca\/news\/quilt-draw-raises-nearly-1200-for-powassan-and-district-food-bank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">demand for its services has climbed<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leblanc\u2019s passion for volunteering is as strong as ever. \u201cThere are so many people who need help from the food bank,\u201d she said. \u201cThis has not been work for me, because it&#8217;s been a pleasure to help so many other people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Making It Home<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seniors\u2019 deep experience and connections can often make a critical difference in food banks, which are hubs of connection and transformation. That has certainly been the case with Lawrence Shebib. In early 2025, Shebib was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltwire.com\/cape-breton\/north-sydney-food-banks-lawrence-shebib-receives-king-charles-iii-coronation-medal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal<\/a> for his service to the North Syndey Food Bank in Nova Scotia. Shebib, 82, is the organization\u2019s executive director and has dedicated an amazing <strong>51 years of service <\/strong>to the food bank and its associated projects. The food bank\u2019s most recent project has created affordable housing for local seniors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Shebib told the <em>Cape Breton Post<\/em>, the housing project got its start when the food bank moved into a disused school building. At the same time, Shebib and colleagues were noticing that many seniors coming through their doors needed more than food.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to be able to do other things for our clients,\u201d he said, \u201cand we saw the need for more seniors\u2019 housing.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a background in construction, Shebib helped spearhead the transformation of the old school from classrooms and offices into cozy new rental units. In the early summer of 2025, nineteen freshly completed apartments <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/nova-scotia\/affordable-seniors-complex-north-sydney-1.7572062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">officially opened<\/a> to their new tenants. The units <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltwire.com\/cape-breton\/new-seniors-housing-welcome-at-former-cape-breton-elementary-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have been named Cora\u2019s Place<\/a> in honour of Cora Shebib, Lawrence\u2019s late wife, also a longtime and treasured food bank volunteer.s&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shebib\u2019s Coronation Medal justly recognizes his contributions, and also does justice to the food bank\u2019s broader organization, which also has a clothing depot and a community kitchen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Incredible Value<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food Banks Canada wholeheartedly thanks the senior contributors who are showing up, raising the bar and making profound differences in others\u2019 lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they\u2019re using their marathon endurance to raise money, finding meaning and connection in long-term service or helping nurture much-needed food-bank-adjacent projects such as affordable housing, seniors bring incredible value to food banks from coast to coast to coast. They inspire everyone young and old to celebrate their achievements \u2013 and maybe even join them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volunteers are the backbone of food banks.
