Here's how you can take part in CBC Hamilton's Sounds of the Season this year

Sounds of the Season is our annual holiday fundraiser in support of Hamilton Food Share. Our goal is to raise money, donations and awareness for those facing food insecurity in Hamilton.

According to Feed Ontario's 2022 Hunger Report, over 587,000 people accessed food banks in Ontario between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, visiting over 4.3 million times. Ontario Foods also saw a 15% increase in the number of visits over the previous year. 1 out of every 3 visitors was a first-time user, meaning they had never needed support from food banks untilthis year.
