CBC's Make the Season Kind campaign is fighting food insecurity in the community
This season, we're making the holidays kind.
CBC Windsor News at 6 host Katerina Georgieva broadcast live from Jackson Park on Dec. 5 for our Make the Season Kind campaign. The special show included musical talent and stories about the people working to fight hunger in our community.

You can also find us on YouTube and CBC Gem.
Since 2015, CBC has helped to raise over $51 million for food banks and other charities from coast to coast to coast as part of our annual holiday drives.
The number of first-time food bank users has risen by 27 per cent this year, according to Windsor's UHC - Hub of Opportunities.
While the show is over for this year, there are still plenty of ways for you to give.
