2008 November > Anthony Robbins Foundation Basket Brigade Food Drive
On October 11, 2008, volunteers of the Anthony Robbins Foundation held the 15th annual Basket Brigade Food Drive. This annual drive helps deliver food to many families in the GTA. This year, 89 families throughout Mississauga, Brampton and Etobicoke had food delivered to them by the Foundation. The Foundation was started by Anthony Robbins when he was 17. He gathered all the money he had and used it to deliver food baskets. Since that day, the Foundation has been thriving and helping many families. This year, the baskets were filled with everything for the families to have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
