The holiday season is just around the corner, and we are thrilled to kick off our Annual Holiday Food Drive!
This beloved tradition brings our team and community together to support those in need. From November 1st to December 6th, we’ll be collecting both food and financial donations to benefit food banks in Victoria and support Food Banks Canada‘s mission across the country.
Why This Matters: The Need for Support
Food banks across Canada are experiencing record-breaking demand. More individuals and families than ever are relying on their services for essential food and supplies. According to Food Banks Canada, almost 2 million Canadians visit food banks each month. Your donations during our Holiday Food Drive will help meet these immediate needs and support long-term solutions to combat food insecurity.
How We’re Making a Difference Together
Every year, we rally our Make Space family and sister brands—including Van Isle Containers—to join forces in our Holiday Food Drive, and this year is no exception! Across the company, we’ve divided everyone into four teams—Team West, Team East, Team Woodbridge, and Team HQ—competing to see who can make the biggest impact. This friendly competition fuels our efforts to support food banks and help families in need across Canada.
We invite you to join the cause by dropping off non-perishable food items—such as pantry staples and hygiene essentials—at our Van Isle Containers location in Victoria to support our local community.
If you’d prefer to make a financial contribution, please consider donating online to Food Banks Canada here. Donations of $10 or more will receive a tax receipt, and every dollar raised goes toward helping food banks meet the rising demand across the country.
Matching Donations for Even Greater Impact
We’re excited to announce that our parent company, Make Space, will match all financial donations up to $20,000, doubling the impact of every dollar donated! This means your contributions will go even further in helping families access the food and support they need during the holiday season.
Get Involved and Give Back
Whether you’re able to donate food, make a financial contribution, or help spread the word, every action counts. Together, we can make a real difference for families and individuals in need.
Visit us at Van Isle Containers to participate, or donate online to support Food Banks Canada. Let’s make this year’s Holiday Food Drive our most impactful yet!
