Purolator’s Fill a Red Bag School Challenge

Join the fight to end hunger

By participating in Purolator’s Fill a Red Bag School Challenge, you can help provide emergency food access to families in your community.

Daily Bread Food Bank would like to invite you to join Purolator’s Fill a Red Bag School Challenge! The school that collects the most food by April 17, 2025 (proportional to its student population) will win an afternoon with an ice cream truck parked at their school.* Here’s how the Challenge works:

1. Register your school

Register your school food drive below. Purolator Red Bags and/or Daily Bread yellow bins can be delivered to your school for food collection if requested in your registration form by March 21, 2025. If registering after this date, materials will be available for pickup only from Daily Bread’s head office. 

2. Download resources

Download resources to support your drive, including a toolkit with Challenge guidelines and ideas on how to engage your community, a flyer to promote your drive and Daily Bread’s list of most needed items

3. Run your drive

Collect non-perishable food donations at your school between March 31 – April 17

4. Arrange to get donations to Daily Bread

Complete the pickup request form below by April 11, 2025, to have your donations collected from April 22-24. Your drive can still be underway at the time of requesting a pickup. You can also invite Parent Council volunteers or members of your school community to deliver your donations to Daily Bread. All food donations being dropped off to Daily Bread directly must be received by 3:00 pm EST on April 17, 2025, to qualify.  

5. Stay tuned to see if your school won!

The winning school will be announced by Daily Bread and Purolator on Monday, April 28, 2025

 

Thank you for joining the fight to end hunger and helping to provide emergency food access to families in your community. 


*The ice cream truck prize for the winning school includes having the truck parked at your school for a two-hour period, either at lunch or in the afternoon. This prize is not redeemable for cash and it must take place before the end of the 2024-25 school year.
