Supermarket Potato Blitz

Did you get a chance to participate in this year's Potato Night with the Kitchener Rangers in support of House of Friendship? If not, you can still contribute to this campaign through the Supermarket Blitz. "During this one day  ‘blitz’,  volunteers  aim  to  collect  the  equivalent  (cash  and  potatoes)  of  150,000  pounds  of  potatoes!" Some potatoes are used immediately by the Emergency Food Hamper Program, while others will be stored for future use. Cash donations are used to purchase more potatoes when those run out. 

This year’s Supermarket Blitz is set for Saturday, Feb. 9. Visit one of the following locations to donate cash or potatoes in support of the Supermarket Blitz:

• Zehrs Markets (seven K‐W locations)
• Sobeys (six K‐W locations)
• Food Basics (five K‐W locations)
• FreshCo (three K‐W locations)
• Real Canadian Super Store

• Valu‐Mart (Waterloo Town Square and Frederick Street Mall)
• Central Fresh Market
• No Frills ‐ Strasburg Rd.
