We’re excited to once again team up with our friends at Purolator for their Tackle Hunger campaign—now in its 3rd year! Thanks to our very own FirePower member, Carolina Rey, we’re coming together to help stock the shelves of the Milton Food Bank with as many non-perishable food donations as possible. Everything collected stays right here in our local community.
How to Get Involved
Step 1: Grab a Bag
Pick up a red bag at FirePower, or watch for the 6,000 bags Purolator will be dropping off around Milton starting Saturday, September 14. Don’t stress if you don’t get a red one—any bag works!
Step 2: Fill It Up
Load your bag with non-perishable items and either:
- Drop it off at FirePower, or
- Leave it on your porch for pick-up before 9am on Saturday, September 13 if a bag was delivered to your door.
Purolator trucks will collect everything that morning. If you miss pick-up, simply bring your filled bag back to FirePower and we’ll make sure it gets delivered.
Key Dates
- Empty Bag Pick Up: September 2 through September 12
- Full Bag Pick-Up Day: Saturday, September 13, 2025
What to Donate
The food bank is especially in need of:
- Packaged items, pasta sauce, canned goods
- High-protein foods (beans, nut butters, fish, meat)
- Whole grain cereals, rice, 100% fruit juices
- Healthy snacks, baby formula, diapers, wipes
- Household paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues)
🐾 Don’t forget furry friends! Dog & cat food, pet treats, or kitty litter are also welcome.
