FCC Drive Away Hunger is gearing up for 2010

Did you know that 37 per cent of the almost 800,000 people who use a Canadian food bank each month are children? That's nearly 300,000 kids right here at home who regularly have to go hungry.

Thanks to generous Canadians like you, FCC Drive Away Hunger collected more than 1.6 million pounds of food for food banks across the country in 2009.

Now we’re gearing up for FCC Drive Away Hunger 2010. From September 20 to October 15, you'll be able to make donations of food and cash at your nearest FCC office.

Donations will also be accepted during tractor and trailer tours in mid-October. Tours include Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, as well as our corporate office in Regina.

The FCC Drive Away Hunger Story

The first FCC Drive Away Hunger tour took place in September 2004 when an FCC employee in Ontario drove an open-cab tractor and trailer through the Listowel area for eight days. Camping along the way, he collected food and donations for local food banks.

Since then, FCC employees and community partners have raised over 3.5 million pounds of food for food banks in Canada.
