Toronto Swiftie events in support of Daily Bread

Fans of the global pop icon can combine their love for the superstar and their passion for food security at these Swiftie events supporting the fight to end hunger in our city.  

At a time when one in ten Torontonians are turning to food banks to make ends meet, every contribution matters more than ever.

On Thursday, November 14, bring a non-perishable food donation to 99.9 Virgin Radio’s food drive and you’ll instantly qualify for a chance to win a pair of tickets to see Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour for the November 21 show at Rogers Centre! Plus, if you donate over 100 lbs of food, you’ll also qualify for a chance to win $1,000 cash (and Virgin Radio will donate another $1,000 cash in your name to Daily Bread Food Bank).
