Atlas Canada Agents Collect 4,300 LBS. of Food

October 25, 2019

While it may be cold outside during the holiday season, the warmth in our hearts tends to grow tenfold. Feeling thankful is always a blessing, but being able to spread that feeling and make a difference is so powerful. Atlas Van Lines Canada continues to create significant events that are so inspiring and necessary.

AMJCampbellAtlasCanadaThanksgivingFoodDrive2019(2).jpgFor the second year in a row, Atlas Van Lines Canada agents held a massive food drive leading up to Canadian Thanksgiving, which fell on October 14 this year. Atlas Canada’s corporate office, along with Mackie Moving SystemsKing’s Transfer Van LinesJay’s Transportation, and AMJ Campbell, all teamed up to help to provide meals for their neighbors in need.

More than 4,300 pounds of food was collected in total, which will help to provide 3,600 meals to families across Canada. Jay’s Group of Companies corporate office in Regina, Saskatchewan led the way by collecting 1,980 lbs. of food, followed by AMJ Campbell of Montreal with 796 lbs., and Mackie Moving Systems of Oshawa with 655 lbs.

With food insecurity affecting 1 in 8 Canadian households, the hard work of all of our Canada Agent’s is so incredibly important. The donations will positively change the lives of many in their local communities! Thank you so much to all of the locations that participated:
