Toronto, ON, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Days Inns - Canada proudly extends its meaningful partnership with Food Banks Canada for a third consecutive year, supporting the

 After the Bell program with a significant donation aimed at tackling childhood food insecurity during the summer months.

Food Banks Canada's After the Bell program provides nutritious food packs to children who rely on critical school food programs during the academic year. This initiative aligns with Days Inns - Canada's commitment to supporting the communities where they operate.

"One in three of those visiting food banks are children," said Irwin Prince, President and COO of Days Inn Canada. "Together with our Canadian Days Inn owners and their teams, we're proud to support Food Banks Canada's After the Bell program to help make healthy food available to children during the summer months."

The After the Bell program was created specifically to address the summer hunger gap, delivering food packs to children across Canada through a network of food banks and community agencies. Days Inns - Canada team members participated in the program's volunteer packing day on May 14, 2025, helping prepare food packs for distribution.

"We are grateful for the support of Days Inns - Canada as we work to address childhood hunger in communities across the country," said Kirstin Beardsley, Chief Executive Officer of Food Banks Canada. "The After the Bell program makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children facing food insecurity during summer months. Partnerships like this one enable us to reach more children with nutritious food when they need it most."

Food insecurity remains a critical issue in Canada, with many families struggling to provide consistent, nutritious meals for their children. Days Inns - Canada invites guests, franchisees and team members to learn more about Food Banks Canada's initiatives and how they can support efforts to address hunger in their communities.
