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!
11th Annual Poutine With Purpose Kicks Off April 23 - Eat North Magazine
“Poutine With Purpose Finds Success in Sincerity - the event is more about community building and supporting local and Mealshare than about profit. ”
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.
Give Back and Support Local
For every poutine sold from participating restaurants, a youth in need will receive a healthy meal from Mealshare and their local charity partners. Poutine With Purpose.
