Macro Foods and emergency services donate 500 meals to Windsor’s less fortunate [Video]

Macro Foods has partnered with Windsor Police, Windsor Fire and Rescue and Lakeshore’s Rare Butcher Shop to hand-deliver 500 donated meals to the less fortunate in the community.

The meals are the result of a charity basketball game between police and fire services that Macro Foods hosted at the WFCU Centre, ahead of a Windsor Express game last spring.

“Our goal is to try and give back as much as we can because we’ve been very blessed by our community,” said Macro Foods co-owner Omar Abousaid.

The winning team received 300 meals to donate to a charity of their choosing, while the other team got 200 to distribute.

Windsor police won the game and donated the pre-made meals Wednesday to the Downtown Mission, while Windsor fire gave their meals to the Salvation Army and Hiatus House.
