Alderwood and area residents are being encouraged to take part in a fundraiser by Timothy’s Pub to help the Salvation Army food bank.

Tim Brem, owner of the popular pub at 344 Brown’s Line, says his restaurant and customers have a history of giving back to the community.

He says $1 from the sale of their customer favourite chippers goes directly to the Salvation Army, at 5 Thirtieth Street.

“In these difficult times anything we can do to help one another is so important,” Brem says. “These (chippers) make the perfect snack or add on to any purchase.”

Timothy’s Pub has helped many area non-profit agencies over the years. They have helped raise funds in the past to help the Royal Canadian Legion #101 Long Branch.

Salvation Army Major Sophie Gilbert says their food bank is still open and users will be seen by appointment only. Call 416-255-4381 for an appointment.

Gilbert said Wednesday’s sit down lunch will be served by take-out at the front entrance.

“These are challenging days for all of us and things are changing on a daily basis,” she wrote on their website. “Let me assure you that we will be here for you.”

Timothy’s Pub is open from 4 to 9 p.m. for takeout and delivery. Please call 416-201-9515 for pickup or use @doordash @skipthedishes or @ubereats for delivery. #strongertogether #supportoneanother #inthistogether #community #wecanmakeadifference @salvationarmycanada @myeveningout @mymississauga @spexontoronto @torontolife @dineintoronto
