Seaway Mall is proud to be hosting its third Spring it Forward Food Drive, a community initiative in support of local food banks. This year, for the first time, we are thrilled to be partnering with Purolator Tackle Hunger to expand our reach and impact. 

Purolator Tackle Hunger Red Bags will be distributed across Welland the week before the drive. These bags can be filled with food and returned to Seaway Mall Centre Court throughout the week of April 28-May 3 or dropped off on the Drive-Thru donation day, Saturday, May 3. The community is invited to a fun day of activities for the family and to help fill the Purolator trucks with Red Bags to be delivered to The Hope Centre, Open Arms Mission and Holy Trinity United food banks. 

A total of 6,000 Red Bags will be handed out during Spring it Forward Food Drive at the mall in Centre Court, as well as at local grocery stores, to Welland residents and Purolator customers, to help stock the shelves of local food banks.  

We are inviting the community of Welland to join us as we work together to Tackle Hunger and fill Welland's food banks.
