Tell us the amount of food that you contributed during Trick or Eat and Loblaw Companies will donate $10 to Meal Exchange on your behalf.
Thank you for your support!
A number of organizers have gotten in touch with us about what to do about the storms coming in as a result of Hurricane Sandy, as well as general advice about adverse weather conditions.
Organizers will be making a decision on Wednesday morning whether or not to run Trick or Eat in their community. They will communicate it to participants at your location, as well as ourselves and the supported food bank, as to whether or not it is safe for you and your volunteers to go out Trick or Eating. If there is heavy rain, thunder and lightning, or high winds, Trick or Eat will not run.
To help determine whether or not Trick or Eat will be safe to run, organizers will be keeping an eye on official weather notices. You can find them at http://www.weatheroffice.gc.
If you are unable to Trick or Eat on Wednesday night, organizers have been asked to consider postponing it until the weekend. We suggest sometime Saturday, November 3rd, depending on what you think would work best with your community. Check in with your organizer for more details.
If weather allows you to Trick or Eat on Wednesday night, don’t forget to wear bright, reflective clothing. As well, make sure that food collected stays dry (carry umbrellas, have tarps if using pick-up trucks, etc.).
As always, feel free to get in touch with us with any questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Heather and Praan

We hope your campaigns are going well so far! This update is going to be about some of the extra benefits that participating in Trick or Eat 2012 can provide. Naturally, we’re talking about the icing on the cake, i.e., the prizes!
This year, for every $12 you raise, you’ll receive a ballot into a draw for 1 of 3 $250 ethical shopping sprees. This year’s shopping sprees are to Grassroots Environmental Products, who stock a number of products, including kitchen, bath, and household products all aimed at supporting a sustainable lifestyle.
Our top fundraiser will receive a Toshiba HD Sports Camera, courtesy of Toshiba Canada, with our second place overall fundraiser receiving a $125 U-Haul Gift Certificate, courtesy of U-Haul. But that’s not all! The top organizer will win a 3M gift basket full of stationery and other goodies.
We’re also offering a $100 gift certificate to Best Buy to one lucky person who fills out our Food Security Quiz.
Stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts as we lead up to Trick or Eat, as we’ll be running mini-contests and quizzes on these various sites. The draw for prizes will happen on November 12th, so look out for an update from us then.
