Drive Away Hunger
Let’s fight food insecurity together
Drive Away Hunger is an agriculture and food industry effort to connect the food we produce with the people who need it the most. As program partners, we donate product and money to food banks and other food security agencies nationwide and share knowledge, connections and resources to increase donation reach and reduce food waste.
Food insecurity is a serious and growing issue in Canada. In March 2024, over two million visits were made to food banks nationwide (a 90% increase from 2019). This is the highest number in national history. (HungerCount 2024 - Food Banks Canada).
Whether you donate food, cash or services, we can work together as an industry to feed as many Canadians as possible.
Fight hunger now. Select from hundreds of Food Banks across Canada.
We can connect you to food rescue organizations and tools.
