Owen Hart Food Drive 2023

CALGARY, AB, Tuesday March 21st 2023 – The Owen Hart Foundation (OHF) happily presents their annual āOHF Easter āFill The Jeepā Food Driveā in support of the Calgary Food Bank. This initiative was started in 2020 by the OHF to help The Calgary Food Bank ensure families negatively impacted by COVID-19 would not suffer due to food insecurity. To date the OHF has collected thousands and thousands of pounds of food as well as additional much needed fundsin support of the Calgary Food Bank, with the help of three corporate community leaders who serve as OHF food donation drop off sites.
Owen Hart Food Drives
Dr. Martha Hart stated, ‘I started these food drives when COVID-19 hit in 2020 with lockdowns and isolation devastating so many lives leading to joblessness and inevitable food insecurity. I had a vision that if all my OHF committee members could leave a bag of food on their doorsteps and could encourage their neighbors and friends to do the same, then perhaps I could collect it all and āfill my jeepā full of food to help support the Calgary Food Bank and those families most in need. What I didnāt expect was that so many generous OHF supporters and companies, namely TRAPPED Escape Room and After Eight Interiors would support this initiative, including the company where I purchased my jeep ā Tower Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram! This initiative worked so well we extended it to the Sylvan Lake Food Bank and collect food during the May Long Weekend. It is amazing to see how one small act of kindness has sparked the annual OHF āFill The Jeepā Food Drive and Sylvan Lake May Long Food Drive. Two fabulous fun events of giving back to the community that the Owen Hart Foundation is extremely proud to spearhead.ā


Upcoming Food Drives
We have had such a great response to our 2020 OHF Easter Food Drive for The Calgary Food Bank (to help those most affected by Covid-19) we have decided we will do this event every year.
