The Great Bridlewood Food Drive

BRIDLEWOOD HAS RAISED 100,000 POUNDS FOR THE KANATA FOOD CUPBOARD.

The 2026 food drive took place on April 25, 2026 and over 250 volunteers and so many generous residents resulted in over 40,000 pounds of food and toiletries and over $3,600 cash collected!!

When we launched The Great Bridlewood Food Drive in 2024, with the help of The Kanata-Hazeldean Lions, we hoped it would be a success – and in that first year we collected 26,000 pounds of food!

In 2025 we did it again when over 250 volunteers visited 175+ streets and collected over 34,000 pounds of food and toiletries. There was so much collected, the KFC shared 4000 pounds of food with the FAMSAC Food Cupboard in Bells Corners.

We have been fortunate to also have The West Team real estate brokerage, and Venvi Stonehaven Retirement Living partner with us in our three years to stage this record-breaking community-wide food drive for the Kanata Food Cupboard!
