Industry Food Drive
Join us to help the less fortunate.
The Oil & Gas Industry Food Drive has supported the Community Food Sharing Association (CFSA) with food and monetary donations for 18 years.
Since the inaugural year in 2000, local oil & gas companies have collected approximately 465,000 pounds of food and raised over $1,000,000. This initiative is one of the largest generators of food and funds for the CFSA. Last year, the 2017 food drive and fundraiser raised $31,753 and over 15,700 pounds of food.
The CFSA tells us that over 25,000 individuals are currently being assisted by food banks on a regular monthly basis and many of these are children under the age of 18.
On Saturday, March 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., oil & gas companies will be providing volunteers to collect food and funds at Sobeys stores in St. John’s, Mount Pearl and Conception Bay South.
