Team Experiences

Offer your employees a 2–3 hour fun and engaging team-building activity

The Team Experience Program offers your employees a 2–3-hour fun and engaging team-building activity focused on rescuing food and impacting lives. Food for Life offers a turn-key experience with an on-site tour of our warehouse and operations, education on the power of rescued food and the opportunity to bring your employees together in a meaningful way – helping people and the planet.

This is a great chance to boost your employee engagement program, execute your CSR initiatives and demonstrate your support for the community to your clients and customers.

Food for Life is the largest food rescue agency in the Region. Your team will help sort and pack GOOD, surplus food like fruits and vegetables to get ready to be shared with neighbours and other community agencies across Halton, Hamilton and beyond.

Is there a cost to participate?

Your donation to Food for Life goes a long way to help people in our community. For every $10 donation Food for Life can provide $62.50 worth of food to a household.

As there are direct costs with organizing a team experience such as staff time, supplies, and moving food within our community, we suggest your organization considers donating to Food for Life. Typically, a minimum donation of $500 covers a group of 8-12 people and $1,000 covers up to 20 people. The cost for larger groups can be discussed and Food for Life will provide additional information to show the specific impact of your financial support.

The optimal number for a team experience is 8-20. Please contact Meaghan at Meaghan@FoodForLife.ca for details.

“The team at Food for Life welcomed us with comprehensive safety measures in place, along with an informative overview of the organization, program, and community impact. The FFL team was on-hand to assist as needed throughout the experience, which kept our team highly engaged.”

"Modern Niagara has been partners with Food For Life for many years now, and as part of our Community Day activities our team gets a chance to bond while doing something great for the community and we get to learn more about how prevalent food insecurity is in our community. The great feeling that comes from knowing we have made a difference as an organization is one of the best team building experiences we have ever participated in, and it was even more meaningful this year as it was one of our first in person team events since the pandemic started. The staff at food for life are amazing and make the experience even better with their great sense of humour and their passion about the work they do. Our team looks forward to being back in 2022 and continuing our long standing partnership with Food for Life!"
