Tackling Hunger Is a Team Sport
For over 25 years, Purolator has proudly partnered with the CFL as the league’s official food drive. In 2026, we’re charging toward a goal of 99,000 lbs of donated food—pushing food insecurity back and driving support straight into the endzone. This season, Purolator is stepping up across the CFL ecosystem, and we’re calling on our fans to join the fight.

In March of 2025, food banks received close to 2.2 million visitors. It was not only the doubling of food bank visits since 2019 that raised concern, but the changing profile of the people relying on them.
