This holiday season, your generosity can go twice as far in making a difference for local families.
The need in our community has never been greater. Month after month, The Hope Centre food bank continues to experience record demand. In October 2025 alone, we served 2,464 individuals—and nearly 30% were children under 18. Every day, more families are turning to us for help putting food on the table.
To help meet this growing need, we are thrilled to announce that the Canadian Tire Welland store has partnered with The Hope Centre for a Matching Gift Challenge. Every dollar you donate will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000!
That means your contribution will have double the impact — helping to feed families, fill cupboards, and ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. When you give, you are not only meeting immediate needs — you are helping to restore hope and dignity.
Your donation will allow us to meet the increasing need for our food security programs while helping families enjoy a brighter, more hopeful holiday season.
