What does it take to pull a 15,000 pound food delivery truck across Nathan Phillips Square? A little muscle, a lot of heart, and a good pair of shoes!
On September 13, 2022, Canada’s most “heroic” challenge to end hunger and food waste returned after a two-year long hiatus, and we were overwhelmed by the support and generosity of everyone who participated. A total of 17 corporate teams competed against each other to pull a Second Harvest delivery truck 100 feet across Nathan Phillips Square. Not even a bit of rain could stop our intrepid teams from completing the challenge and getting their trucks to the finish line! And thanks to their valiant fundraising efforts, we have reached our fundraising goal!
Congratulations to the winning teams from each heat!
