David Carleton Executive Director November 2014 Letter of Recommendation- Boaden’s

Mississauga I am pleased to offer a letter of recommendation for Boaden’s and Organic Kids Catering. PEEL FAMILY Boaden’s and Organic Kids Catering has been a proud partner of and the SHELTER Peel Family Shelters for many years. 1767 Dundas St. Mississauga, Ontario The reason I say partners and not supplier is that’s exactly what they are. What began as L4X 1L5 business relationship quickly turned into much more. Boaden’s and the Salvation Army have (905) 272-7061 partnered together to provide meals on a daily basis to our various Homeless Shelters in the Peel Region. CAWTHRA RD. SHELTER Boaden’s and Organic Kids Catering provides excellent, quality and most of all delicious meals. 2500 Cawthra Road These are not your typical homeless shelter meals you may think. Boaden’s and Organic Kids Mississauga, Ont. Catering goes beyond this is in the attention detail it puts into each and every meal for our L5A 2X3 residences. They provide us with b, lunch and dinner meals 7 days a week, 365 days a year. (905) 281-1272 Yes they even arrange meals on all holidays.

Brampton I have heard quite often how delicious their meals are but from experience (my taste buds) I can attest to this. When our staff and myself enjoy the meals just as much as the clientele that WILKINSON should tell you something. Their meals are meals are you would eat at home. One item they ROAD SHELTER especially excel at is the meals for children. With their Organic Kids Catering division they are 15 Wilkinson Road able to insure that our children in the various shelters have the same meals as children in Brampton, Ont. school and are able to blend in. L6T 4X1 (905) 452-1335 I would like to mention that Boaden’s is a proud partner of ours in various other endeavors as well. Their charitable contribution to our organization is second to none for one simple reason; they do not like the recognition or to be acknowledged for what they do they. For example, did you know that last year Boaden’s arranged/and or donated over $200,000 in donations for homeless people throughout the GTA. Included in this was a donation for 5000 pair of winter boots for children and adults along with a machine and all the goods that can make 5000 teddy bears.

This year was extra special, Boadens’ and Organic Kids Catering donated $50,000 towards our initiative of starting a service dealing with children and mental disabilities. They, as they often do, have stepped up and helped when asked.

It is also often that we hold charitable events at their facility or that they provide us with meals at cost for our various charity events as well. If we need support I know that all I have to do is pick up the phone and they are there. One other thing I want to make you aware of is Louie the General Manager. 5 years ago when I started with the Salvation Army he was one of the first people to greet me upon my arrival. He was the first person I asked for help with when I wanted someone to help me with our community council. Without hesitation he agreed to lead this organization for business leaders in the community that help us with our organization and strategic vision. But you won’t hear him acknowledge or boast about this. This is just the type of people that Boaden’s are.

If you would like an organization that prides themselves on integrity, honesty, compassion and most of all provides great service than go to Boaden’s, you will not be disappointed. After all it is more than just a business relationship with Boaden’s and Organic Kids Catering.

If you need any further questions answered or would like to speak with me personally please do hesitate to.
