Annual Events
Where would we be without you? We have some very special friends in the corporate community that dedicate time, effort and money each and every year to help the fight against hunger.
Dominion Food Drive
In partnership with Loblaws we launch two, two-week food drives at all Dominion stores in Newfoundland and Labrador, two weeks just before Christmas and two weeks in June. Customers are invited to make a cash donation at the register or to pick up a nonperishable food item or two with their groceries and leave it at the in-store food bin.
Through this partnership Loblaws is helping to restock food banks and to create general awareness about the need for food banks in this province and across Canada.
CBC Feed NL Day
Feed NL Day will take place in December 2024, with a 3 week promotional campaign leading up to the main event. Members of the community will be encouraged to donate money (and/or non-perishable food items) throughout the campaign at specified locations or online. The main event (a province-wide day of giving) will take place with special programming at The Avalon Mall in St. John’s and select CBC locations.
Downtown Christmas Parade
Every year, Downtown St. John’s encourages people to bring along a non-perishable food item or a donation for the annual Downtown Santa Clause parade in support of Community Food Sharing Association.
City of St. John’s Tree Lighting
Each year during the City of St. John’s Festival of Music and Lights, people are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for Community Food Sharing Association.
NL Power
Each year, Newfoundland Power employees, their families and retirees support the Community Food Sharing Association by collecting much needed food and cash at the Downtown Santa Claus parade route. Newfoundland Power also matches funds collected at the parade up to $15,000.00.
