“People in the agriculture community are so giving and caring. I feel it’s now my duty to give back to the communities that provide food for all of us. We take food for granted and I want to bring the hunger issue to light. This is a great opportunity to collect and share food with people who really need it.”

“The hunger stories I heard while studying abroad will stay with me forever. Many people do not have the luxury of having a drink when they’re thirsty or eating when they’re hungry. Everyone should have basic necessities. I want to give back to the community I grew up in. No matter what Ontario back road you find yourself on, there is one constant - the kindness and hospitality of rural people.”

“I realized how big the need for food is in rural communities while working with the Stratford Food Bank. I knew Drive Away Hunger would have a big impact on the entire province. I’ll do my part to assist those that are less fortunate and make sure the wagon gets full!”

Craig Richards, Tractor Driver

“In our busy lives we often forget about children who don’t have basic daily food supplies. My wife, a teacher in Guelph, sees many children come to school without breakfast or lunch. Along with the other teachers, we try to help them by taking food to school and giving them the clothes our kids have grown out of. I want Drive Away Hunger to exceed the goal and help feed those kids.”
