This year, more than ever, we need the support of our community to make this food drive event a ‘fun and full-filling’ one. 
    • 1 in 5 Canadians are now relying on their community food bank for at least one meal a day. This number is expected to rise this year. 
    • Before Covid, 2.2 million people/month were served
    • In 2022, 5.1 million/month were served
    • Anticipated monthly servings for 2023 = 8.2 million

How can we take a very serious situation, support our community and local food banks, and have some fun?
