We have sold over 40,000 poutines in support of Mealshare since 2013.
oh my curd!
41,000 poutines sold in support of Mealshare since 2013?! That definitely gives poutine purpose.
Poutine With Purpose started in 2010 as a one-day poutine crawl in Calgary created as a fun social media experiment by MRU instructor Karen Richards. The poutine passion grew into Calgary Poutine Week, and over time, has evolved into an annual food festival frenzy in Calgary, Victoria and this year we are launching in Vancouver!
When we first heard about Mealshare in 2013, we knew this program would give poutine a purpose. For every poutine you buy and enjoy during Poutine with Purpose Week, one simple, healthy meal will be provided to a youth in need. Mealshare wants to end youth hunger in our lifetime - let’s help them do it.
Every poutine sold during Poutine With Purpose in any of the participating restaurants provided a simple, healthy meal to a youth in need through our Mealshare charity partners. Poutine with purpose.
The Gravy Bowl event brought ambassadors, advocates and influencers together to compete and celebrate poutine!
