Discovering Food

For over a decade, The Printing House Limited (TPH) has produced seasonal greeting cards in support of registered Canadian charities. The entire production process for these cards is donated, including artwork, stock and printing. As such, TPH® is unique in giving 100% of the selling price to the chosen charities.  The net proceeds of the TPH Charitable Greeting Card Campaign are donated to different charities across Canada and this year HomeBridge was chosen as one of the recipients. 

When the campaign wrapped up for 2009 TPH made a $15,000 donation to HomeBridge’s Discovering Food Program.

This program will teach youth basic life skills such as food handling, cooking and budgeting, as well as the opportunity to prepare and try different cultural and regional foods. Discovering Food also supports the creation of urban gardens at some of the facilities and special celebratory dinners that can sometimes be the youth’s first experience in a restaurant that will allow them to order from a menu, which is not only fun but increases their confidence in social settings.

Therapeutic programming like this has been proven to have a very positive impact on youth-in-care and it could not be offered without the generous support of donors like The Printing House.
