Elmvale and District Food Bank Endowment Fund

Providing for neighbours in need has long been a hallmark of the Elmvale community; and with
the assistance of Springwater Township, the Elmvale & District Food Bank was able to move
from church basements to a purpose-built building on Yonge Street. Today, the Food Bank relies
on the generosity and dedication of local retailers, farmers, businesses, donors and volunteers
who help source, stock and distribute food to individuals and families in need throughout
Elmvale and District.

Margaret McGuire spent 75 years in Elmvale, quietly contributing to the life of her community,
often behind the scenes and frequently anonymously. Before her death in 2009 at the age of 95,
Margaret established The McGuire Trust to carry forward her legacy of supporting education,
children, women, history and the quality of life in her community. For over 18 years, The Trust
has supported charitable organizations that strengthen the community and build capacity for
the benefit of all.

In her memory, The Elmvale & District Food Bank Endowment Fund has been established to
help ensure that this vital community resource will be there for those who need it now, and in
the years ahead .
