Tackle Hunger
Most Canadians are fortunate to enjoy an exceptional quality of life. However, did you know that in 2019 food banks saw an average of 1.1 million visits per month? One third of these people are children. Right here in Canada.
In 2003, Purolator employees decided to take action by creating Purolator Tackle Hunger – an initiative that’s all about people helping people. Since then, this employee-lead grassroots initiative has helped deliver more than 13 million pounds of food to families across the country.
But there are more Canadians to feed and more meals to deliver.
We can’t tackle hunger alone. We invite you to join us in the Purolator Tackle Hunger program. After all, even one family struggling to put food on the table is one family too many.
We have been a proud sponsor of the Canadian Football League (CFL), including the CFL Playoffs and Grey Cup, since 2003. We are also a sponsor of each CFL team: the Montreal Alouettes, Ottawa Redblacks, Toronto Argonauts, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Saskatchewan Roughriders, Edmonton Eskimos, Calgary Stampeders and BC Lions.
Purolator Tackle Hunger Month
Purolator Tackle Hunger Month is a national fundraising campaign held annually in June, when our teammates and customers host food drives to raise food and funds for local food banks across Canada. Events are planned throughout the month to support this initiative, involving hundreds of employees and customers across the country.
