Give Local! How to Help Weed Man’s Grassroots Giving Food Drive

Calling all customers! Help us plant the seeds of kindness and give a much-needed hand to our neighbours. It’s time for our 3rd Annual Grassroots Giving food drive.

Last year, Weed Man’s incredible customers really stepped up to help families in their communities by donating over 108,000 pounds of food for families in need across North America. That’s almost 90,000 meals! This year, we’re hoping you can help us do even more. For our Third Annual Grassroots Giving food drive, we're aiming to raise 110,000 pounds of food.

Last year, we certainly did our part! We mobilized our trucks and our employees in partnership with the London Food Bank and collected 926 lbs of food to help local families.

How Do I Get Involved With Grassroots Giving?

Donating is easy!

  • The day before your next lawn care application during our Grassroots Giving campaign, you will receive a text or email reminder about your next service.
  • During our visit, simply leave any food items for donation outside your front door (preferably in a box or bag).
  • Your Weed Man technician will collect all items while they are there to complete your service.
  • All donations will benefit our friends at the London Food Bank!

This year, we will be collecting donations from September 7 to October 9. Right now, the London Food Bank's most requested items are:

  • Canned protein
  • Canned vegetables
  • Rice
  • Pasta
  • Peanut butter
  • Cereal
  • Shelf-stable meals
  • Juice boxes for back-to-school

If you have any questions about what the most requested donation items are for local families, or about what is/isn’t permissible for donation, just reach out to us at amanda.killeen@weedmancanada.com.

Charity always starts at home. We hope you’ll join us in the fight against food insecurity in our community!
