Purolator Red Bag Food Drive Volunteer (September 13 & 20, 2025) - Daily Bread Food Bank (Toronto)

Looking to get involved in a fun, meaningful, and community-driven event this fall?

Join Daily Bread Food Bank and Purolator’s Tackle Hunger initiative for the Red Bag Food Drive, a city-wide campaign collecting non-perishable food donations to support thousands of people facing food insecurity in Toronto.

Taking place over two Saturdays in September, this large-scale community effort engages neighbourhoods across the city. Volunteers will help distribute 25,000 empty Purolator Red Bags door-to-door and return the following weekend to collect filled bags from doorsteps — no door knocking required. Together, we’ll make a tangible difference in the fight against hunger.
