When the Vancouver Sun approached the Sidoos for help sponsoring food for 25 poverty-stricken families in the North Surrey area, David didn’t hesitate to write a cheque for $10,000. The money, part of David and Manjy’s $30000 contribution to the Vancouver Sun’s Adopt-a-School Campaign, went directly toward providing emergency food deliveries to the 25 families in need.
“We can’t leave families hungry like this,” said David after learning that one family was in such dire straits that they had just one onion to eat between them all.
Sidoo Family Giving has contributed more than $122,000 to Vancouver area elementary school food and meal programs since 2008.
