Unite your peers for good!
Workplace campaigns and school drives are great ways to engage your network. We’ve got everything you need to plan, launch, and succeed
Endless possibilities
Food drives
Collect non-perishable food donations from colleagues, students, or customers. We can provide collection boxes, posters, and instructions; you set the timeline and run the drive. Food drives work well as standalone events or alongside a seasonal initiative
Online fundraisers
Set up a campaign page through CanadaHelps.org and share it with your network. Online fundraisers are easy to run, easy to track, and easy to share. Donors will receive a tax receipt immediately after their donation
Payroll giving
Ask your employer if you can make regular, pre-tax donations through payroll. It's an efficient way to give and for employers, it's a simple, low-effort way to support charitable giving year-round
Auction, 50/50, or raffle
Gather donations of items or experiences for a silent auction to raise funds. Coordinate with AGLC and us to host an internal 50/50 or raffle
Door-to-door
Coordinate a community door-to-door food drive. Download our guidelines and reach out to discuss your initiative. Alternatively, be unique and have a door-to-door collection within your office building to encourage others to help
Play with your food
Have a theme or build a structure with the food you are collecting. A theme can be as simple as being a SOUPerstar with everyone donating cans of soup or seeing who can stack all the macaroni and cheese boxes you collected and the tallest stack wins

Keep in Touch
Food can be heavy and you may need a pick up for donations of more than 50 kilograms of food (120 lbs.). Our warehouse schedule can book up; therefore, notice and a 3-5 days window during peek seasons are appreciated
Need resources?
Swinging by our office to pick up resources or drop off donations is a huge help to our team
