Tonne of Love
Make A Fresh Difference In Your Community!
Tonne of Love started in 2008 with a few Odd Fellows collecting 2000 pounds of nonperishable food for the Mustard Seed at Christmas. It has become two full moving trucks delivering fresh food for every family hamper registered with the Mustard Seed. Last year, over 300 local families received Christmas hampers.
Our goal is to once again provide fresh nutritious food to each family registered with the Mustard Seed over the holidays. With your help, we hope to extend Tonne of Love to add more fresh food to their year-long monthly hampers.

We need your help. Once again, Victoria’s local Country Grocer stores have generously committed a matching program where your dollars will be matched one for one and spent at cost for the most amazing fresh vegetables, fruits, meats, cheeses and treats that compliment the food the Mustard Seed already has sourced. The matching program has a dollar limit but the buying food at wholesale pricing does not. We work with the Mustard Seed to fill all the holiday meal gaps so that our neighbours receive food that makes them feel human.
A donation of $500 will provide fresh food for about ten families (about 40 people) this holiday season. Of course, larger or smaller donations are always welcome. With your donation we’ll purchase items such as: hams, fresh veggies and fruit, cheese, eggs, and pies.
