Trick or Eat 2011

“I couldn’t believe that in just an hour we filled an entire shopping cart of food. It was awesome. When I was younger, my family visited the food bank on occasion and it made me feel really good to give back to an organization that once helped me. I truly believe in this cause and think this is a great event for raising awareness and collecting goods.”– Trick or Eat participant

Last year was Meal Exchange’s 11^th year Trick or Eating! We were very proud to have 6,003 youth in 93 communities across Canada and the U.S. get decked out in their finest Halloween costumes to go door-to-door collecting over 1/2 million dollars worth of non-perishable goods for their local food banks.

“Trick or Eat was very well organized and it was amazing to see the enthusiasm of the students who were volunteering their time to collect food for the food bank. The donations from Trick or Eat have definitely helped our agency as they have filled empty shelves and will keep them full for a while to come.”
