The Coquitlam Firefighters' 8th Annual Charity Night On Fire is a fundraiser to help residents of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam through a range of charitable programs and activities. We believe in the importance of giving back to our community and giving everyone the best possible chance to succeed in life. This year’s goal is to raise over $80,000 to continue and improve current programs, expand Port Coquitlam’s breakfast and snack program, and save for the future.
The Snack Program
The nutritional snack program is the primary benefactor of our annual charity gala. Launched in 2014 in Coquitlam and 2019 in Port Coquitlam, these programs have become very successful and are well accepted among all students, family and faculty at participating schools. The wonderful open-door policy, allowing any child to take part, helps shed the stigma of poverty a child or family may face. There are over 7,500 meals and over 4,000 snacks served each year at participating schools. This number is expected to grow as Coquitlam continues to reach out to new schools.
The Port Coquitlam Professional Firefighters Charitable Society started its snack and breakfast program in September 2019 and served 27,000 meals in 3 schools during the 2019-2020 school year. They also created a voucher program to meet the nutritional demand for families that depended on the daily breakfast program during school closures due to COVID-19. We hope to grow the snack and breakfast program to additional Elementary schools in Port Coquitlam while fostering relationships with our food suppliers to make every dollar go a little further.
