2026 Impact Awards Winner: Conagra Brands Canada

From fighting food insecurity to supporting survivors of violence, Conagra Brands Canada’s employees are making a tangible difference in communities nationwide. The company’s approach to philanthropy goes beyond passive donations, leaning into active volunteerism and long-term partnerships.

A cornerstone of this commitment is the company’s “Month of Service,” which now spans April and May each year. During this time, employees dedicate their time and talents to local organizations. This is complemented by the “United for Change” annual campaign, which encourages staff to contribute financially to partners like the United Way. Last year alone, those employee donations raised more than $44,000 for the organization’s community campaign.

The 2026 calendar has already seen a flurry of activity. Addressing the urgent need for food security, Conagra teams have partnered with the Seva Food Bank in Mississauga, Ont., as well as Food Banks Mississauga, Dresden Food Bank and Moisson Laurentides. These collaborations focus on providing critical meals and non-perishable items to families and seniors.

The company’s impact extends to supporting vulnerable residents through other critical avenues. Conagra works closely with the Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke, assisting survivors of violence and poverty through various events, including preparing a special Mother’s Day lunch.

Sports are also playing a role in the charitable strategy. This year, the company and its staff donated more than $19,000 to Hockey Helps the Homeless. The non-profit charity, which hosts Pro-am hockey tournaments, ensures 100% of net proceeds stay local to support more than 60 agencies across Canada dedicated to ending homelessness.

By weaving financial support with boots-on-the-ground volunteerism, Conagra Brands Canada continues to deepen its roots in the communities where its employees live and work.
