WHAT: This year marks Walmart’s 4th annual “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” National campaign to support Food Banks Canada.
WHEN: February 20 —March 18, 2020
WHY: 1 in 8 Canadians do not have food security, which leads to there being 1.1 million food bank visits each month.
GOAL: To collect enough money and donated food to secure 15 million meals for Food Banks Canada.
HOW: There are 4 ways you can help join the fight against food insecurity.
1. Purchase participating products
For every purchase (in-store and online at walmart.ca) of select products, participating brands will donate a portion of the proceeds to Food Banks Canada.
