An Autumn Tradition in Welland Since 1992

The Welland Food Drive is a long-standing annual community initiative in Welland, Ontario, aimed at collecting non-perishable food donations to support local food banks and those in need leading into the winter and holiday season.

Mission Statement: The Welland Food Drive is an independent, volunteer-led initiative dedicated to increasing food support for those who need it the most by collaborating with organizations that serve the hungry. Together, through our annual food drive and fundraising event, we help unite Welland to make a meaningful and lasting impact on local hunger.
