Waterloo Chapter Touch A Truck 2025

April 1, 2025

Come together with fellow industry professionals for an engaging, educational event for families in your area. Both children and parents will have the chance to interact closely with different types of industry vehicles and equipment, enabling them to discover and learn about the fascinating world of landscaping. This event serves as an excellent platform to highlight your profession, promote the career opportunities, and showcase the numerous career paths available in this vibrant industry.

Charity Partnerships:

Join us in making a difference at the Touch-A-Truck event as we come together to support The Foodbank of Waterloo Region through the Stuff-A-Truck campaign.

Why the food bank? 1 in 10 households in Waterloo region struggle to afford to put food on the table. That number is up from 1 in 14 households. Last year the Community Food Assistance Network supported 58,688 individuals in need, 13,971 being children.

This event will also be supporting KidsAbility KidsAbility Foundation exists to raise funds and broaden awareness for support of KidsAbility’s vital work with children and youth in our community.

We explore and engage with community partnerships to foster funding opportunities, establish research innovation funding, and support capacity building.

KidsAbility was founded by Rotary in 1957 to deliver pediatric services to children in need. Six decades later, our work is strengthened by the generosity of individuals, local business and corporations, community clubs, and organizations within our region, each giving to ensure children and families have a local place to turn to for support with the specialized programs and services they need to thrive.
