Councillor Sandra Yeung Racco, who resides in Thornhill with her husband and four children, has worked tirelessly on behalf of her constituents for more than twelve years. During her three terms on Vaughan Council, she has been a driving force in bringing recreational facilities and vital services to residents. Additionally, she has played an integral role in arts and cultural initiatives, addressing the needs of youth and seniors, and has collaborated with other levels of government in city-building initiatives. Today her efforts extend to Hunger No More where, as its founder, she aims to provide people with limited means the resources they need in order to thrive."Even though we live in a very affluent society, there are still many who are not or just barely making it through each day. These are the people we need to help," she explains. Through HNM, Sandra wants to ensure that those less fortunate have access to food and enjoy entertainment and activities in a worry-free environment. She aims to provide additional support by connecting HNM recipients to agencies that can be of use - "That way they will no longer need the help but instead help others in similar situations."
