The Welland Food Drive: 25 Years of Giving.

Every year for the last 25 years the Welland community has come together to stock the shelves of the food banks in our city.  This year is no exception.  The Food Drive this year will be on Saturday, November 4th.

About the Process

The collection of what usually ends up being tons and tons of food in a three hour window  is as it always has been, Welland  residents are asked to put their food donations at their front doors by 10:00 a.m.   Sometime shortly after that some 80+ teams of people will scour the street, collecting the food donated.  The donations are brought to Club Richelieu on River Road where it is boxed by hundreds of volunteers.  The food is distributed between Open Arms Mission, the Hope Center and the Salvation Army for those who require a little help in the months to come.

Volunteers are Needed

The activity and excitement as the food comes in to Club Richelieu is something to behold.  We always need hard working volunteers to help out throughout the day. To participate, please go to wellandfooddrive.com to sign up as a volunteer.

Additionally liking us on Facebook or contributing to Instagram and/or Twitter with our hashtag #wellandfooddrive is critical in getting the word out.
