The annual Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Drive Away Hunger event was held in Yorkton today.
FCC Drive Away Hunger is a unique food drive that involves driving a tractor and trailer through communities to collect food and cash donations for food banks across the country. In Yorkton the food collected from schools, including St. Alphonsus School seen loading their collected food here, is earmarked for Soup Haven and the Salvation Army Food Bank.
The drive demonstrates FCC’s commitment to rural Canada and brings the agriculture community together to share the food it produces with those who need it most.
FCC employees from coast to coast, along with many customers and community partners are looking to provide five million meals for Canada’s food banks this year.
Since 2004, the program has provided more than 50 million meals.
The amount raised in Yorkton will be updated on this site once totals are made available to Yorkton This Week.
