Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive

In 1987, Edgar Burton was deeply touched when his daughters asked him why anyone has to go hungry.

The Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive is a holiday campaign that continues the legacy started by a kind and generous man named Edgar Burton, who's goal was to help more and more people in need by collecting "One more can than last year." This honest and genuine question was all it took for Edgar to put out a single box at work to collect food to help those in need. This eventually lead to starting

the Business Employee Christmas Food Drive to which Edgar donated countless hours, raising hundreds of tons of food and feeding thousands of people in need. His honest passion and heartfelt strength of character developed this food drive into the largest Christmas Campaign in Canada. After his far too early passing in 2010, the campaigns name was changed to the Edgar Burton Christmas Food Drive to honour this great man. The goal as always, is to ensure Edgar’s legacy lives on, and to continue Edgar’s goal of collecting one more can than last year, to ensure he's helping more and more people in need, each and every day.
