This year’s Trick or Eat is kicking off! All of the organizers are locked in and are already planning their part in what will undoubtedly be a wildly successful event. Every year on Halloween, Trick or Eat participants go door-to-door in their communities, collecting food and funds for local food agencies. But this year’s campaign hopes to add something to the tradition: a national discussion on hunger. In addition to collecting non-perishable foods, Trick or Eat participants will be collecting opinions, answers to one not-so-simple question: “With hunger in Canada on the rise, what can Canadians do to end it?”

Trick or Eat is about much more than dressing up and collecting food. It’s about sharing, building community and discussing one of the most important issues in Canada. Trick or eat an opportunity to raise awareness about hunger in Canada. It’s a positive event to address short term and long term food security. Each campaign is different and reflects the goals, values and spirit of each community. Students are central to this work. Help students and community members from across the country meet their fundraising goals! 

For 15 years, Trick or Eat has worked with campuses and communities across Canada to run an annual food and fundraising drive in support of local food agencies and food banks.

We’re proud of our work to date - but we believe we need to be doing more. We're starting by raising voices.
