This year’s Ugly Potato Day was our biggest yet, and it came with a huge milestone: we donated over $1.5 million worth of fresh produce to families in need. From “ugly” potatoes to greens, carrots, squash, and even bread and chocolate! Every item went straight to households who need it most.
To everyone who came out to celebrate with us, thank you! Whether you rolled up your sleeves to help as a volunteer, shared a smile with a neighbour, or simply showed up to support ugly produce, your presence made the day brighter and more impactful for our community.
But the story doesn’t end with one big day of giving. Thanks to our Feed a Family plans, the impact of Ugly Potato Day keeps going, providing families with nutritious food all year long.
From One Day to Every Day!
While Ugly Potato Day shines a spotlight on food waste and hunger, the reality is that families need nutritious food every single week. That’s where Feed a Family comes in.
- One Meal – $4 → Provide one meal to a family of four.
- Biweekly Meals – $8/month → Provide one meal every two weeks to a family of four.
- Weekly Meals – $16/month → Provide one meal each week to a family of four.
- Daily Meals – $120/month → Provide one meal every day to a family of four.
Donors who join these plans turn events like Ugly Potato Day into a sustainable solution for hunger in our community.
Why It Matters
The potatoes we gave away this year were “ugly” by grocery store standards, but to the families who received them, they were perfect. Healthy food shouldn’t be a privilege. Every Feed a Family plan moves us closer to a community where everyone has the food they need, every single day.
