Working together toward a hunger-free community. We support 22 Food Banks and Meal Programs across the Greater Hamilton Area. Visit www.hamiltonfoodshare.org

It is truly great to live in a generous community. The Hamilton Community has supported Hamilton Food Share’s hunger relief activities since its inception in 1990. Without your support Hamilton Food Share could not exist. For information on holding a food drive, please visit https://www.hamiltonfoodshare.org/ to see how you can help. There is so much that you can do and every contribution makes such a difference. Every $1 you donate to Hamilton Food Share raises $5 worth of food!

Every finish line helps create something much bigger 🏃✨

For over 30 years, VR Pro Races has brought local runners together. Five years ago, co-founder Kelly Arnott wanted to take that community spirit even further.

Seeing the growing need in Hamilton, she built an easy way for runners to give back, whether by adding a monetary donation when registering online or dropping off food on race day.

“The need is so great, and people really want to help,” Kelly shared with us.

That simple, thoughtful idea has turned every race into a source of support for our network of 22 food banks and hot meal programs.

We spotlighted their efforts in our Fall Newsletter, but we wanted to say a huge thank you to Kelly, Amitoz, and the entire VR Pro team for being such incredible partners 💙

Food is a basic need, yet more than 20,600 people in Hamilton turn to food banks every month.

Behind that number are people working full-time, families raising children, and neighbours facing circumstances they never expected. As the cost of housing, groceries and other essentials continues to rise, putting good food on the table is becoming harder for many.

But everyone deserves access to safe, nutritious food, regardless of their circumstances.

This , we’re reminded that access to good food shouldn’t be a privilege. It should be something everyone can count on.

A hunger-free Hamilton takes all of us. Through our network of 22 food banks and hot meal programs across the city, we’re proud to work alongside the many organizations helping make that possible 🌍

1,132 meals raised last Friday night 🏒🧡💙

With hockey officially back in Hamilton, the hammersahl kicked off their home season opener by putting community first with a food drive at TD Coliseum.

Hamilton showed up for game night, bringing 506 lbs of food and over $310 in donations to support our network of 22 partner programs across the city.

We wanted to extend a huge thank you to the hammersahl, TD Coliseum, and every fan who brought a donation! We are proud to welcome the Hammers to Hamilton, and we’re so excited for what this partnership will build for our community this season 👊

15 years, and nearly 600,000 meals secured.

This is the kind of difference that can be made when a partner chooses to show up year after year, with steady and dedicated support.

For us, Soletanche Bachy Canada is one of those cornerstone partners.

(This is a longer caption for us, but we certainly think it’s called for!)

Generosity not only adds up, but it compounds... especially when it comes to food.

A meal means so much more than basic nutrition.

Securing food for our neighbours creates a safeguard during tough times. It helps keep families housed, and gives kids the fuel they need to focus in school and reach their potential.

While it’s hard to really measure the ripple effect of this support, it truly reaches far beyond food… building health, dignity, and opportunity across Hamilton.

Since 2011, the Soletanchy Bachy team has been fighting hunger in various ways: through internal pizza days, Christmas auctions, co****le tournaments and more, all to raise funds for us.

Their team also volunteers their time, not only sorting food in our warehouse but participating in our major campaigns like Purolator Tackle Hunger and the Tim Hortons Smile Cookie.

And this year, they presented a generous 2025 donation of $28,582.22, bringing their total 15-year contribution to around $300,000…

In other words, over half a million meals distributed across Hamilton’s emergency food network - and the profound impact of making a difference in the lives of so many.

To everyone at Soletanche Bachy Canada : thank you for your incredible 15-year commitment, and for going above and beyond in supporting your community. It’s your steady behind-the-scenes generosity that empowers us to continue the fight against hunger in Hamilton 🧡

Today on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we remember the children who never returned home, and we honour the Survivors and families who carry this history.

Reconciliation is an active and year round responsibility. That means listening, learning, and supporting the Indigenous-led organizations in Hamilton whose leadership guides how food, care, and cultural connection reach our community. We are incredibly grateful for their partnership.

There’s no single way to observe today. You might take a moment of silence, listen to an Indigenous voice, attend a local event, or take time to reflect and learn. Whatever way you choose, we encourage you to participate in one (or all) of these opportunities today.

📍Looking for events and resources? Some community guides are linked in our bio to get you started.

Today and everyday, we must listen, learn and remember.

🧡

“Because everyone deserves to eat.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves❤️

We’re heading into the weekend with a big thank you to PARADIGM FLEET SERVICES for continuing to show up for our community.

This summer, the Paradigm team hosted a charity golf tournament in support of Hamilton Food Share and raised an incredible $15,000. Yesterday, we welcomed Erin, Rob and little Rocco to our warehouse for a tour and a chance to see what their support really means.

We got to share more about the work we do, the role of our warehouse, and how their generosity helps strengthen our network of member agencies across Hamilton.

PARADIGM FLEET SERVICES has supported Hamilton Food Share in many ways over the years, including helping with our HFS van (see last slide!) and previous donations, and we’re incredibly grateful for this ongoing partnership.

Thank you to the entire Paradigm Fleet Services team for believing in a Hamilton where everyone has access to the food they need ❤️

Some members of our team had a great time at Monica Ciriello’s Community BBQ at the Hamilton Italian Centre - SDI Hamilton Community Group, getting in some sunshine, good food and plenty of conversation with Hamilton neighbours and community leaders.

From a catered BBQ and ice cream truck, to a bouncy castle and even a special iced coffee named after MPP Ciriello, there was a little bit of everything ☕️

We were also grateful for the opportunity to connect with MPP Ciriello and other government representatives, including Doug Ford and Jeff Beattie, and to share a little about Hamilton Food Share’s work and the importance of our food banking network.

Thank you to MPP Ciriello and her team for welcoming us and bringing the community together for such a fun afternoon. ❤️☀️

210,383 meals for Hamilton 🧡

Impact like this only happens when an entire community comes together, and we are so lucky to have the best team behind the scenes (and of course in the stands).

A few call-outs are certainly due!! (it’s gonna be a long one folks):

📣 To Tiger-Town, and all the fans and donors who gave back — your generosity is an incredible gift, and is truly felt in every corner of our city. Thank you for helping us for the 23rd year in a row.
🧡 Thank you to Purolator 🇨🇦 for being the driving force behind this campaign year after year, helping ensure a reliable source of food for our city.
🐯 To the Ticats, your commitment to Hamilton and giving back to your community is simply unmatched. Shoutout to the cheerleaders, the mascots, the staff behind the scenes, and of course to Kenny Lawler, for all that you do.
💙 To our incredible HFS team, from our board (shoutout Joe Futino for being with us on Monday) to our warehouse staff and everyone handling logistics, this wouldn’t happen without your hard work.
🙌 To our passionate volunteers — you truly brought the ultimate game day energy. Thanks to you we raised over $12,000 at the Labour Day Classic alone (an amazing feat).
🫶 thank you especially to our Lactalis Canada Foodservice volunteers, who show up for Hamilton not only during this campaign but throughout the entire year with their support of HFS.

Finally, we wanted to give the last shoutout to the nice gentleman in slide 3, who at 90 years young, is still cheering loud and proud for the Ticats 👊

That’s the kind of dedication we love to see and know to expect from Hamilton!

Thank you once again, to everyone who donated, volunteered, and cheered us on 🧡 Swipe through to check out some of our favourite moments from game day… Happy Friday everyone!
