For Immediate Release - January 5, 2020

"I first became aware of HOPE House a few years back during my involvement with the Christmas JOY Home Tour" said Dan Baker, Red Seal certified chef at Delicious Direct. 

"I was impressed with their thoughtful community based approach in helping people deal with food uncertainty . They not only provided food staples but also advice, counselling, budgeting solutions, that sort of thing." 

"This year, the JOY Home Tour had to pivot to an on-line virtual event, which had a really major impact on their fundraising efforts. Under the circumstances, they were able to exceed their adjusted expectations, but we still would like to add what support we can" Dan added  "That's why this month, we're setting aside ten percent of all purchases and one hundred percent of all tips to support their work in the community."
