One Million Pounds of Food (and Counting)

VersaCold’s Food Banks Canada partnership passes donation milestone

When VersaCold set out in 2018 to find a charitable partner with a strong national presence and real impact at the local level, we found one in Food Banks Canada (FBC). FBC represents and supports a network of more than 650 affiliate food banks and serves approximately 85% of people accessing essential food programs across Canada. With food at the core of VersaCold’s business and our coast-to-coast network giving us extensive reach, the match was obvious.

In addition to food donations, our partnership allows for VersaCold Logistics Services to provide FBC with $150,000 of in-kind services per year, including transportation and storage of food at any of our 29 warehouses across Canada. Now, less than two years into the VersaCold-FBC partnership, we have helped transport and store more than one million pounds of donations, ensuring good, quality food moves safely and efficiently from donors to Canadians who need it. It’s another opportunity for VersaCold to show the communities we serve how your food matters.

Our partnership allows for VersaCold Logistics Services to provide FBC with $150,000 of in-kind services per year—including transportation and storage of food—at any of our 29 warehouses across Canada.

Thinking National. Acting Local. Great Fit.

Supply chain expertise presents a charitable partnership opportunity; common values seal the deal.

One of the great things about working nationally throughout Canada is that you start to develop an understanding that it’s a giant landscape compiled of unique and amazing local communities that people really care about. Which is why over the last year, as we have undergone a search to find the right charitable partner, it has been important for us to find an organization with a strong national presence but makes a real impact at a local level.
