Get ready to rumble in The Food Bank of Waterloo Region’s 2026 Great Food Sort Challenge, presented by BMO Financial Group Fischer-Hallman & Bleams Branch!
On January 22, 23, and 26, 30 teams will step into the ring and go head-to-head in an action-packed showdown to fight hunger and sort the most non-perishable food for people in need.
But the fight against hunger doesn’t stop there—teams are also competing to win the coveted Most Meals Raised title, which combines the total amount of food sorted with funds raised.
You can help your favourite team climb the leaderboard by supporting their fundraising page today. For every $1 you contribute, The Food Bank can provide two nourishing meals to someone facing hunger.
