34th Annual Ancaster Community Food Drive

For a 34^th year the Organizing Committee is working to bring the community of Ancaster

together in service and support of our neighbours in our city who struggle with food insecurity. With a total of 65,000 lbs. of food collected at last years drive the cumulative total of food donated to the 8 supported agencies over the years is a remarkable 2.1 million pounds.

We invite all in our community to attend and participate in supporting this important community event

which is scheduled for Saturday March 7th, 2026.

The information which follows will provide details and links to the individual supported agencies and our online volunteer portal to identify and register for the various volunteer opportunities available.

For our students in secondary schools we offer the opportunity to earn community service hours toward the minimum graduation requirements.
