Groceries for Good Food Bank Donation

Groceries for Good Program

We are proud to support the Dauphin and District Food Bank with a $2,000 donation of Kraft Heinz products. The donation was made possible with the Kraft Heinz Groceries for Good contest, which helps feed food banks across Canada.

Kraft Heinz pledged a meal for Food Banks Canada for each time a customer bought a participating product at Canadian grocery stores. Thanks to the support of our shoppers and members, Dauphin Co-op was selected as the recipient of the donation for our local food bank. We also recognize the work our Grocery team does to ensure the shelves are full of these items to maximize the opportunity to be selected for this great cause.

“Canadian food bank usage is at an all-time high with more first-time users than ever. At Kraft Heinz, we are committed to standing by Canadians and our customers by making a positive impact in communities by partnering with Food Banks Canada,” said Michael Wilton, Sr Field Sales Manager Western Canada, Kraft Heinz.

“Co-op has been a trusted community partner for more than 85 years and we continue to prioritize our deep-rooted values of community support, service and sustainability. We are proud to be a part of our communities and look forward to continuing our legacy of support, compassion and partnership,” said Joan Chetyrbok, Dauphin Co-op Marketing / Community Relations Manager.

Robin, Dauphin & District Food Bank, said "Kraft Dinner is a staple in every food hamper, peanut butter provides families a healthy option, and items like Cheese Whiz and Heinz Ketchup are always greatly appreciated. For us to be able to give a jar of Cheese Whiz to a family is amazing. We don't get these items very often. We’re very grateful for this generous donation.”
