Halloween for Hunger

Halloween for Hunger Sun Peaks Community Food Drive

Goblins, ghouls, and good initiatives  

Halloween for Hunger is a new community initiative aimed at raising awareness, food, and funds for those in need in partnership with the Kamloops Food Bank.

Trick or treat, Let's donate some food to eat!

During the month of October, you can make a difference by donating your non-perishable items at any of the convenient Kamloops Food Bank drop-off locations scattered throughout the Sun Peaks Village. 

Plus, on Halloween night, get your candy and canned goods ready as teams of fang-tastic volunteers go door-to-door around the neighborhood to collect non-perishable goods in true Halloween fashion. Efforts focused on Burfield Drive, Fairways Drive, Mountain View Drive, The Cabins & Cottages, & Whitecroft.

These donations help support up to 7000 Individuals, 52 Community Agencies, and 9 Regional Food Banks in and around our area!
