Description
Help Us Support the Food Bank of Waterloo Region:
- During this month's Meetup, we invite you to bring with you a non-perishable food and/or cash donation. Proceeds will benefit The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.
- The Food Bank of Waterloo Region functions as a distribution centre, so it doesn't give out food directly from their location. Instead, they work with the Cambridge Food Bank to lead the Community Food Assistance Network. This means they acquire essential food items, fulfill orders, and distribute fresh, frozen, and non-perishable food to partner organizations across Waterloo region. The Network consists of 54 organizations and 132 food assistance programs.
These Meetups are great if you're looking to:
- Make your community a more inclusive, safe and welcoming place to live, work, play and shop.
- Learn about and support the boutique shops, restaurants and other businesses that have established a physical presence in your community.
- Build business organically through relationship building.
- Get to know your neighbours and learn about the companies they work for, the products/services they represent, and strike a personal connection on common interests or hobbies.
- Feel more connected with your local community.
Bring your business cards!
- Eastbridge Business Connections will be holding a business card draw (at 8:00pm) for some locally donated items.
- Special thanks to our 46 valued Annual Meetup Door Prize Sponsors, who collectively, are helping Eastbridge Business Connections give out more than $23,000 in door prizes throughout 2024!
- For those of you who would like to showcase your business by contributing an item to this month's door prize table, please bring your door prize with you and connect with one of our volunteers upon entry.
What are these business connections meetup chapters all about?
- Eastbridge Business Connections is one of seven chapters that make up the Locally Connected Community Hub.
- The Locally Connected Community Hub is Waterloo Region’s largest and fastest-growing community-based networking group that connects 1,800+ local area residents.
- Each chapter offers a series of informal networking Meetups that bring together residents and merchants from within and around their respective neighbourhoods (or communities).
