Jul 30, 2026 | 10:57 AM

Northreach Society has been donated a new delivery truck to expand food collections and distribution.

The truck was donated by Purolator as part of their Purolator Tackle Hunger program to support Canadian food banks.

“This truck will significantly increase our capacity to respond to community need, strengthen partnerships and get more food to the people and organizations who need it most,” said Dalyce Sather-McNabb, Executive Director, Northreach Society. “From picking up donations to transporting resources to our local and rural partners, we appreciate Purolator’s support in helping us further serve the Grande Prairie community more efficiently.”

The truck is one of 14 being distributed to food banks by Purolator.

“Organizations like Northreach Society are working every day to help address food insecurity in their communities,” said Lawrence Saathoff, Unit Manager, Grande Prairie, Purolator. “Our team is pleased to expand our Purolator Tackle Hunger efforts through the donation of this retired delivery truck to Northreach Society, and we look forward to seeing how it will further support those in Grande Prairie who rely on their services.”

Through the Tackle Hunger Program, Purolator has helped deliver roughly 27 million meals worth of food-to-food banks across the country.
