Ramadan is a time of year when people voluntarily go without food and drink in daylight hours to build empathy with those in need, and hopefully ease some of their burdens. That means no coffee, no lunch and no snacks for a month.

It all started with one FCC employee on one tractor collecting food in October 2004. From that small food drive near Listowel, Ont., FCC Drive Away Hunger has grown year by year, and volunteer by volunteer. The agriculture and food industries have rallied around the cause.

Every October our community rallies around a bold challenge to secure 1 million meals for Regina families. The Mosaic Million Meal Challenge brings together businesses, community leaders, athletes, and schools to find creative and fun ways to raise funds and food.
