8 Our Vision Providing Food for those in need while striving to end hunger in our community.

9 Our Mission To inspire, support, educate and empower our children to compassionately give back to our community by collecting donated food for our network of member agencies serving families in the Halton Region.

10 Our Values & Beliefs We believe that access to food is a basic human right. We are committed to inspiring our hockey community and young athletes to help respond to the needs of more than 28,000 people who live below the poverty line in Halton.

11 Be the Difference Maker Food drives strengthen a community. Within the Burlington hockey community, we have learned that with every shot, there is a chance to reach our goals and make a difference. Together with your partners, associations and volunteers, The Gift of Giving Back can make a real difference in the lives of those less fortunate in your community.
