Drive Away Hunger is gearing up for 2012
Did you know that 38 per cent of the almost 850,000 people who use a Canadian food bank each month are children? That's more than 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 2.4 million pounds of food for food banks across the country in 2011.
Now we’re gearing up for FCC Drive Away Hunger 2012. From September 24 to October 19, 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, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec, 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 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 7.8 million pounds of food for food banks in Canada.
