Volunteer for the Purolator Red Bag campaign!

This month a legion of amazing volunteers will be blanketing multiple Toronto neighbourhoods with 25,000 empty red bags, ready to be filled with food for people experiencing hunger this Thanksgiving season. We’re aiming for 50,000 lbs in donated food from this year’s campaign.

But we need your help to make this happen! Come volunteer and join us. Here are the details:

• What’s needed: Volunteers ages 11+ for the Purolator Red Bag campaign 

• When:
  • Saturday, September 14, 9:30am – 2:00pm (dropping off empty red bags onto doorsteps)
  • Saturday, September 21, 9:30am – 2:00pm (picking up red bags filled with donations)
    
• Where:

• What to expect: lots of walking, lifting up to 10 lbs (on September 21), and a true sense of community as you work together to help neighbours in need
