Maple Leaf Self Storage Holiday Food Drive. More Food. Less Hunger.

Many families find it very difficult to feed their families throughout the year. It can be even more difficult during the holiday season when there are more bills to pay and greater expectations. We wanted to find a way to help. Starting today, we will be conducting a food drive at each of our 12 Maple Leaf Self Storage locations. Our goal is to collect as many non-perishable food items as possible to help support local food banks.

Food bank use across Canada continues to rise according to HungerCount 2014 (a report published by Food Banks Canada). In March of this year, 841,191 people in Canada used food banks. In British Columbia alone, 97,369 people used food banks, with children making up 30.8% of the total. Only Ontario and Quebec saw more usage, with 374,698 and 156,895 respectively. Unfortunately, food bank usage has increased by 25% across Canada since 2008. With the number on the rise, it’s important for us to come together to help the families in our communities. Please help us help others.
