At the Allan Bush Investment Team, part of CIBC Private Wealth at CIBC Wood Gundy in Waterloo, Ontario, we believe that true wealth isn’t just measured in portfolios—it’s measured in how we care for each other.

That’s why we’re proud to stand behind The Food Bank of Waterloo Region and its mission to ensure no one in our community goes hungry. As part of our ongoing commitment, we’re once again supporting their Full Bellies, Happy Hearts campaign, which aims to provide 1.5 million nourishing meals by the end of this summer.

And here’s something we’re especially excited about: Allan Bush is matching every donation made to the campaign. That means your gift goes twice as far in helping families, children, seniors, and neighbours across our region who are facing food insecurity.

A Community Tradition of Giving Back

We are incredibly proud to have supported this initiative since 2019. Each year, the Allan Bush Investment Team matches every donation to help amplify the campaign’s impact.

For every $1 donated, we’ll match it—up to a total team donation amount of $50,000. This campaign ends on August 31, 2025.

That means your generosity goes twice as far in helping families, children, and seniors across our region access healthy, reliable food.

Why Food Banks Matter

Food banks are more than just a place to pick up groceries—they’re a cornerstone of resilient, compassionate communities. In the Waterloo region alone, food bank programs serve over 34,000 people each year, many of them working families or those experiencing temporary hardship.

When we invest in food banks, we invest in:

• Healthier communities
• Improved mental well-being
• Stability for children and youth
• A stronger, more connected local economy

 

Giving Back: It’s Part of Our Values

As a team of investment professionals serving individuals, families, and business owners across Southern Ontario, we take our role in the community seriously. We’re not just here to grow wealth—we’re here to help build a legacy of giving, leadership, and impact.

Supporting the Food Bank of Waterloo Region is one way we turn those values into action.

“Full Bellies, Happy Hearts is about more than food. It’s about dignity, hope, and showing up for our neighbours when they need us most.” — Allan Bush
