Blue Bombers fans help collect over 81,000 pounds of food for Harvest Manitoba

Winnipeg Blue Bombers fans have stepped up in a big way.

Through the Purolator Tackle Hunger initiative, which took place during the first five home games of the season, fans responded by bringing non-perishable food items and monetary donations in support of Harvest Manitoba. 

In the end, over 81,000 pounds of food were collected, with Peak of the Market matching donations along the way.

Purolator organizes a game-day food drive in every CFL city, encouraging fans to drop off non-perishable food items or a monetary donation in support of food banks in their communities. This is in addition to the food collected at each Blue Bomber home game throughout the season.

This is the 23rd year that Puralator has hosted this initiative in Winnipeg.
