CAA Niagara's Big Food Boost Returns: Here’s How You Can Get Involved

This August, CAA Niagara's Big Food Boost is rallying behind FEED Niagara to help tackle food insecurity right here at home.

From August 9 - September 2, drop off a non-perishable food donation at your local CAA Niagara Branch or visit us at Touch-a-Truck on August 9 and your donation will go directly to FEED Niagara's network of local food banks that serve our community every day.

As a thank you for helping us fight hunger, every donation you bring in will also earn you a bonus ballot for our Gear Up & Go Giveaway!

If you’d prefer to have your items picked up from home, just fill out our registration form and leave your donation in a visible, weather-safe spot by 9 a.m. on your selected date. Pick-ups will be available on August 20 & 28.

Pick-up is contactless and easy — just set it out and we’ll do the rest! In the registration form, we'll ask for the following:

1. 1. Pick-up Address

   2. Preferred Pick-up Date (choose from available dates below)

   3. Description of where the donation will be placed (e.g., front porch, side door, inside storage bin, etc.)

Please note: Pick-up is only available in the Niagara Region. Donations must be non-perishable and clearly marked "Big Food Boost."
