Purolator Tackle Hunger Campaign Delivers Nearly 210,000 Meals to Food Banks Across North America
The fourth annual Purolator Tackle Hunger National Red Bag campaign successfully delivered the equivalent of 208,123 meals to local food banks across Canada and the United States. This initiative, which ran throughout September and October as part of Hunger Action Month, saw employees, customers, and community members contribute to the effort. Purolator volunteers distributed over 66,000 reusable Red Bags door-to-door in 25 communities in both countries, collecting non-perishable food donations that were then delivered directly to participating food banks. Since its inception in 2023, the National Red Bag campaign has provided more than 720,000 meals to communities facing food insecurity. This year, the campaign also introduced a virtual Red Bag option, allowing for online monetary donations to further support hunger relief efforts. John Ferguson, President and CEO of Purolator, expressed gratitude for the growing support, noting the increasing need for such initiatives.
