Toronto’s Daily Bread Food Bank is cutting ties with one of its largest member agencies after the charity uncovered discrepancies with invoices Feed Scarborough provided to support grant funding and reported those and other financial management concerns to police.
Daily Bread’s board of directors decided not to renew Feed Scarborough’s membership agreement last week, so it will no longer receive food deliveries or funding from Daily Bread after its membership expires at the end of this month.
The charity’s CEO Neil Hetherington says Daily Bread had previously paused funding to Feed Scarborough while it investigated financial irregularities, but continued providing the organization with food so residents of south Scarborough wouldn’t be impacted.
