The TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, recently donated a total of $900,000 in grants to food pantries throughout the bank’s footprint from Maine to Florida.
The grants will help pantries prepare for the holiday season and aid in assisting thousands who will experience a reduction in their food stamp benefits, due to the expiration of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Pantries are expected to double their current levels of distribution and play a very important part in feeding many communities.
“Thousands of people will be impacted by the food stamp cuts and with the holidays approaching, the assistance from food banks will be vital,” said Elizabeth K. Warn, President of the TD Charitable Foundation and Senior Vice President of Community Relations for TD Bank. “We are extremely proud to continue our support of food pantries as demands for food increases.”

A staunch commitment to active involvement in the local community is a vital element of the TD Bank philosophy. TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank® and the TD Charitable Foundation provide support to affordable housing, financial literacy and education, and environmental initiatives, many of which focus on improving the welfare of children and families.
