Feed More FamiliesTM
In 2022, we launched our new pledge to Feed More FamiliesTM by donating one billion pounds of food to community based charities by 2028.
Feed More FamiliesTM activities include regular awareness and fundraising campaigns for food banks and food recovery agencies, and a sustained effort to partner all stores in the Loblaw network that sell food with a local food charity that can put good food to use, before it becomes waste.
President's Choice Children's Charity
President’s Choice Children’s Charity (PCCC) has become Canada’s largest non-government provider of in-school hunger and nutrition programs in Canada, reaching children wherever they learn. Kids who participate in these programs at school, after school, and all summer long benefit from regular meals, snacks and food education.
In 2018, Loblaw committed to raise and donate $150 million by 2027, to support PCCC’s effort to address childhood hunger and improve food skills. Since making this commitment, we have activated our network of stores, vendors, colleagues and customers to contribute more than $111 million.
Shoppers Foundation for Women's Health
For more than a decade, Shoppers Drug MartTM has been supporting women’s health charities and organizations across Canada.
Through its organization The Shoppers Foundation for Women's Health, they're helping women access the care and support they need to be happy, healthy and safe and are committed to providing $50 million by 2026.

Further support for communities
Empowering entrepreneurial students
In 2023, PC Financial® continued its support of Enactus Canada with $25,000 to renew the PC Financial® Resilience Project Accelerator which empowers entrepreneurial university students with the resources to build financial education programs needed to address Canadian social issues.
Disaster and humanitarian response
When a disaster strikes, we do what is right forour communities. Our colleagues and employees step up to mobilize support and fund relief programs for organizations in need. We are a Canadian Red Cross (CRC) Disaster Alliance Partner which means we quickly mobilize products and fundraising to resource Red Cross teams providing vital humanitarian assistance following health and weather emergencies.
Wildfire Support
When wildfires broke out in Alberta, our priority was the safety and well-being of our colleagues, employees, and customers. As evacuation orders were lifted, our Edmonton and Calgary distribution centres sprang into motion to support local food banks. Working in unison, they sourced and delivered crucial supplies like food, water, and hygiene products which supported hundreds of evacuees while they waited for the safe return to their communities. Despite the challenges due to certain areas being re-evacuated, our local stores remained open to provide essential services to first responders. Furthermore, our stores united to offer complimentary meals to the incredible first responders.
