As a youngster, Chris experienced the stress of being homeless and often did not know when the next meal was coming. For this reason, the foundation works with local restaurants and chefs to distribute nutritious meals to families. The foundation also works to alleviate family hardship during the holidays by providing gifts and toys to youth.
In December, Chris worked with the City of Toronto to provide a video to thank 5,000 shelter employees and volunteers for their work during the pandemic. Chris was homeless for a short time when he was younger.
