- At age 44, Tony Colley had only $278 to his name and would skip meals to get by. Now, three years later, he runs the program B12Give, which rescues excess food and delivers it to Toronto-area shelters.

This is brilliant. Why cant the government do this? Why haven't churches done this. This is how you feed everybody. In fact this kind of initiative is how to house everybody. Good work.
In 2015 France became the first country to ban edible food waste from supermarkets, which forced stores to donate food to charities- so there's hope laws like this will spread!
There are church that do food drives..
Churches have been doing this continually for decades. Why don't you do this? Why don't you get involved?
Appear's to be a really solid down to earth dude. Power to him!
I was a produce manager for six years and literary threw away hundreds of pounds a day of “not perfect” fruit & veggies. I started selling boxes of not shelf worthy (in the companies eyes) to a horse farmer for their animals and I was reprimanded for this. I was still charging something instead of paying by the pound to throw away, it crushed me after so long and I could do nothing about it. I had to quit my well paying manager job because I couldn’t live with myself any longer.
That's sad. I had a friend who was a waitress at a casino buffet and at the end of the night the staff (many of whom didn't get a single break all day) would eat the leftovers, but then management came in and told them that was theft and they had to throw it all in the garbage.
As for your grocery store story, France has made it illegal for stores to throw away food that approaches best before dates, they have to donate it all to food banks or other charities!
This would be amazing if every state had this kind of program with the different restaurants and catering business all over to help feed the homeless and others in need of just a breakfast, lunch or dinner. Lots of family's depend on pantries and open shelters that offer free meals. This could help so many people.
May God bless him and keep him
This man is Godsend !!!
Wow what a amazing thing you are doing BRAVO 👨🍳👍👏👏👏🇨🇦❤️
How can anyone thumbs down this great action, hope you downers never run out of resources,,,, maybe you should and realize what it feels like😞🤐

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Great job Tall Tony. Not too many people can say this. But Tony YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
I can only imagine there is more food offerings then one man can handle do you have tall Tony helpers ?
Sending love 💕
Really amazing work, the world won’t change by your opinion but by your actions ✊✊✊ proud of him
*Tall Tony The Man! Respect !!!*
This is so great of him!
God Bless You.
This is a great idea. I'm an Audio Visual Technician; so, I provide technical assistance for meetings all the time and would cringe when I saw all the food thrown away after meetings. Years ago working in NYC Hotels I would take the food and give it to homeless people.
Thanks to this man for his initiative and to CBroadcasting .
There should be a whole segment dedicated to this.
This is very kind.I have always wanted to help in communities.I got my chance to do so in my last job working for americorps.When people are struggling they really appreciate it so much.May God bless you and your team.
You are an amazing person for doing this
I managed restaurants for 11 years and we always donated all leftover food. Depending on what it was, it either went to the local soup kitchen or to local farmers. Any time we can donate instead of throwing away, is great!
He should get a flat moving cart for those totes of food, his back is gonna hate him for carrying them through doorways
Amazing work!
How can we get in touch to figure out how to get started. Would live to learn from his experiences... BRAVO TALL TONY!!! So impressive!!!
He's on Instagram @ b12give hopefully you can reach out to him
Shanty D thank you
@@djgeez1399 you're welcome
I love these positive videos ☺️
This guy is the best!
God bless you brother and the work your doing definitely someone to look up to .....
You are great guy
God bless you!
Good work
keep it up
That is a super great idea. In fact i watch dumpster divers here in the U.S. we throw away so Much Food !
So much that if i had a team of dumper divers and friends at the end cooking it up. Literally you could run a shelter with all that waste. Some stores purge stuff every other day. I dont understand why it doesn't get donated. I am glad to see someone covering the restaurant side of food waste also IMMENSE waste. Your saving people , food and the earth. Blessed be ! Namaste
Wonderful idea!! You are an awesome human!!
AWESOME!!
That is just amazing
This is amazing
Long as they accept and eat why care who its going to
@@isaacgriffin5690 its not just going to Muslims. I used to live in Toronto and recognize a couple of the shelters he was speaking in front of. One was a Christian shelter and one was a shelter for recovering alcoholics.
Good for you
It is truly shameful the food that we waste. Nice to see someone putting it to use. Someone that is starving could care less what it is for the most part. I really hope this takes off and is copied all over. Wonderful.
Well done.🙂
Fabulous 🇨🇦❤️
1:45 No disrespect for this man.
Yes good works
HERO
How can we contact Tony? What’s his Instagram name?
His Instagram name is @ b12give
Shanty D thanks! I just followed
@@tenthousanddaysofgratitude you're welcome, awesome. All the best.
To the people who dislikes this: I'm not judging, I'm disappointed in you.
To the people in the kitchens that are giving the food to him: Did you check for any weird stuff in your food, like hair or anything?
Would like more specific info how to do this
👏🏻
Impressive 😇🤩
Whats his insta/website etc?
@b12give on Instagram
Stay away from corona beer 🍺 bro .
A homeless person who eats only gluten free food that's laughable I've been homeless I know when your hungry enough you'll eat anything homelessness continues to rise because they have it to good
@@annah.4488 well there is 340 million ppl in the usa roughly and less than 200k cases of celiac disease so we can't specialize food for .01 percent of ppl those ppl who have that have the responsibility to provide their special foods
@Ayan D A you're laughable
Can't eat what you're allergic to
cbc needs to be defunded
