It’s finally here.
What started as a small act of kindness, rescuing a few “ugly” potatoes that didn’t make it to store shelves, has grown into one of the most impactful food rescue events in the country.
It’s not just about funny-looking carrots or lopsided spuds. It’s about dignity, sustainability, and proving that good food doesn’t need to be perfect to make a difference.

📍 Why It Matters
Nearly 60% of food produced in Canada goes to waste, and a large portion of that is due to how it looks. Meanwhile, thousands of families in our communities are facing food insecurity. Ugly Potato Day is our way of bridging that gap, rescuing food and redistributing it with dignity and joy.
This isn’t just a giveaway, it’s a whole movement, and we’re so excited you’re part of it. Still need a ticket? Grab yours here!
