February 1st - 28th
Burger It Forward is a national celebration of Canadian beef burgers with community heart!
The goals of Burger It Forward:
Canada Beef is a not-for-profit organization that represents the 60,000 beef farming and ranching families across the country, providing promotion, information and advocacy for beef that's raised right here — Canadian beef.
Canada Beef is proud to lead the Burger It Forward campaign to help relieve food insecurity through food bank contributions.
For every campaign featured burger purchased, Canada Beef will donate the equivalent of 1 meal to Food Banks Canada.*
*up to a maximum of 20,000 meals (based on Food Banks Canada's meal metric: $1 = 2 meals).
The Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association works to develop and promote the your local beef. Their mandate is to provide a united voice for beef farmers and ranchers across all regions of the province.
Saskatchewan beef farmers and ranchers are helping to 'beef up' regional food banks by donating $500 worth of ground beef to both Regina Food Bank, and Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre.
The Regina Food Bank is a charitable community-based organization breaking the cycle of food insecurity by leveraging access to healthy food choices to enhance dignity and community wellbeing.
Our ultimate goal remains creating a hunger-free community through evidence-based programs, strategic partnerships, and unwavering commitment to those we serve. Thanks to our excellence in efficiency and stewardship of donations, the Regina Food Bank has been recognized as one of the Top100 Charities in Canada (Imagine Canada) for 4 years in a row. For us, addressing food insecurity is part of a larger collective impact and building community to make Regina a more fair, caring, and dynamic city.

Food Banks Canada is the leader in addressing food insecurity in Canada. Our mission is to provide national leadership to relieve hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow in collaboration with the food bank network from coast to coast to coast. For over 40 years, food banks have been dedicated to helping people living in Canada with food insecurity. Over 5,500 food banks and community organizations come together to serve our most vulnerable neighbours, who — this year — made close to 2.2 million visits to these organizations in one month alone, according to our HungerCount report. Since 2010, Food Banks Canada has shared over $1 billion in food supports and over $275 million in funding to help maximize collective impact and strengthen local capacity—while, backed by leading research, advocating for meaningful actions from governments to counter hunger and its root causes. Our vision is clear: create a Canada where no one goes hungry.

Recognizing the challenges local restaurants have faced over recent years, participation in Burger It Forward is offered to restaurants with no registration fees.
Restaurants are encouraged to give back what they can to their local food banks as part of their contribution to the program. All Burger It Forward profiled burgers feature Canadian beef in support of local cattle farmers and ranchers.
