Great Canadian Food Fight

Sep 29, 2014 | 3:06 PM

2014 Great Canadian Food Fight will be Thursday October 16th @ 6pm until October 18th at 6pm
Bringing hope to those less fortunate in our community!

This year we are being challenged by the cities of Regina, Victoria, Halifax and New Market to see who can raise the most food for their food bank. Help us beat these communities in the per capita category where we are all winners when our communities come together to make sure no one goes hungry.

It will be another difficult fall and winter for families experiencing poverty. Rising rents, gas and food prices will put additional pressure on already tight budgets. This is a recipe for disaster for the working poor and those on fixed incomes.

How can you help?
Here’s how you can help Prince Albert win the battle and help our families in need at the same time:
• Help organize a food drive with colleagues and staff
• Promote the Food Drive/Food Fight to employees and customers/members to create a heightened sense of awareness within your organization
• Help raise funds in support of the effort … they go towards the final count
• Make a cash contribution to support the cause … all contributions equal to or greater than twenty dollars will receive a charitable receipt
• Provide volunteers for the food drive (October 18th). We need drivers and runners to pick up food from routes and people to help sort and move food at the food bank.
