According to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, the Holiday Train has already begun its journey visiting over 130 communities in eight states and six provinces. In the last decade, the Holiday Train has helped raise $4 million and 2 million pounds of food for local food banks.
The goal of the Holiday Train is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of great musical talent and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community.
In the U.S. Northeast, the Holiday Train will embark on its journey November 26 in Rouses Point, New York finishing November 30 in Plattsburgh, New York where it continues on to Southern Ontario, and the U.S. Midwest.
Entertainers on this train include Prescott and Adam Puddington, along with special guests Shaun Verreault and Willy Porter.
Please bring a canned food donation.
