Sign up as an individual or with a team and go door to door to every house on your specified route in Moose Jaw to collect food for our Food Bank and/or head to the Exhibition Grounds to help sort and package the food as it comes in. This is all done in one crazy night and we get it done in a matter of hours with the help of people like you! We hope to see you here on Halloween night!

CP Holiday Train
Fun For The Whole Family
The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train program is an annual event with a mission to raise money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues across Canada and the United States.
Due to Co-vid there will not be a holiday train, however the good folks at our local CP Rail office and The Co-op grocery store are determined to carry on with the Food Drive in a a safe and co-vid revised manner. The food bags will be sold Nov 21st to Dec 10th at our local Co-op grocery store. There will be a draw with awesome prize packages to be won. Your support is still needed to help achieve a record breaking goal of 1500 pre-made bags sold. More details will be announced as we get closer to the date.
Farm Credit Canada Food Drive
a lot has changed - hunger hasn't
Looking to support your community? You’re not alone. During times of uncertainty, caring Canadians want to help however they can. According to Food Banks Canada, there are more than a million visits to food banks every month. And that was before COVID-19 increased demand. To help, we’re launching our FCC Drive Away Hunger campaign now, instead of our usual time in September.
Since its start, FCC Drive Away Hunger has collected more than 65 million meals directly benefiting food banks and feeding programs in Canada. But there’s more work to do – and we need your help more than ever. Let’s pull together as Canadians and as an industry to help our friends and neighbours.
The Back Story
It started with one FCC employee on one tractor collecting food in October 2004. From that small food drive near Listowel, Ont., FCC Drive Away Hunger has grown year by year, and volunteer by volunteer. The agriculture and food industries have rallied around the cause.
Today, 16 years and thousands of volunteer hours later, FCC Drive Away Hunger is helping meet the needs of food banks across Canada. Every volunteer and every meal has made a difference. And you can make a difference too during these unprecedented times.
