SoSIAL Program

Fight against food wastage

SoSIAL is a dedicated initiative aimed at combating food waste and assisting those in need. Through this program, all food products are collected and securely stored at the conclusion of the event, and then distributed locally to various centers that support individuals in need. Year after year, SIAL Canada collaborates in partnership with Moisson Montréal and Daily Bread Food Bank to make a meaningful impact.

For each registration to our 2025 show, SIAL Canada will donate 5$ to Daily Bread Food Bank to fight against food wastage.

For the second consecutive year, SIAL Canada is partnering with Drive Away Hunger, an agriculture and food industry effort to connect the food we produce with the people who need it the most.

About Drive Away Hunger

Partner of SIAL Montréal 2025

As program partners, we donate product and money to food banks and other food security agencies nationwide and share knowledge, connections and resources to increase donation reach and reduce food waste.

Food insecurity is a serious and growing issue in Canada. In March 2024, over two million visits were made to food banks nationwide (a 90% increase from 2019). This is the highest number in national history. (HungerCount 2024 – Food Banks Canada).

Whether you donate food, cash or services, we can work together as an industry to feed as many Canadians as possible.

514 million meals donated in 2024

Thank you for making a difference in communities across the country. Farmers, processors, distributors, grocers and more came together to have a positive impact through Drive Away Hunger.
