The holiday season is a time for connection, generosity, and community spirit—and at the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation (CCKF), we’re proud to continue one of our most meaningful traditions: Santa Slices.

Beginning December 1, community members across Kingston are invited to join us in spreading warmth and joy by donating freshly made pizza slices to local charities, shelters, youth programs, seniors’ homes, and community groups.

This year’s Santa Slices initiative launches at Pizza Pizza, 277 Bath Road, Kingston—our longstanding partner in making this project possible.

🍕 How It Works

For just $1, you can donate a slice of pizza to someone in need.
Your donation goes directly to providing hot, fresh, comforting food to vulnerable members of our community during the winter season.

What makes Santa Slices special is choice:
You can select the charity or community organization you want your slice to support.
Whether it’s a local shelter, a youth program, a seniors’ centre, or a grassroots community group—you choose where your impact goes.

👨‍🍳 Want to Do Even More?

When you donate 100 slices, you’re invited to join us in the kitchen to help prepare slices alongside our volunteers and community partners.
It’s a hands-on way to be part of the project, meet incredible people, and directly contribute to the joy you’re helping spread.

❤️ Why Santa Slices Matters

Many individuals and families in Kingston face challenges during the holiday season: food insecurity, housing instability, isolation, or limited support systems.

Santa Slices brings people together—neighbours helping neighbours—with a simple act of kindness that makes a real difference.
It’s more than food; it’s community, connection, and compassion.

📅 Join Us This December

Santa Slices begins December 1, 2025, and continues throughout the month.
Every slice donated is a slice of joy shared.

Together, we can brighten the holidays for hundreds of people across our city—one slice at a time.

Thank you for supporting CCKF and our mission to build a kinder, more inclusive community.

The holiday season is a time for giving, compassion, and strengthening the bonds within our community. For the fifth year in a row, the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation (CCKF) is proud to announce the return of our annual Santa Slices Initiative — a tradition that began in 2020 and has grown into one of Kingston’s most heartwarming acts of holiday generosity.

Why We Do This

Santa Slices was created with one simple purpose: to ensure that those in need receive a fresh, hot meal during the holiday season.
What began as a humble effort to deliver 500 slices during the pandemic has grown into a powerful community-driven movement supported by volunteers, donors, and leaders across Kingston.

Last year, the community helped us surpass all expectations — donating more than 2,500 slices across shelters, food programs, and outreach networks throughout the city.

This remarkable success reflects Kingston’s true spirit: when the community comes together, small acts of kindness become something extraordinary.

Kicking Off Santa Slices 2025

We are excited to officially begin planning for Santa Slices 2025, starting in December with the same goal we set every year:
1,111 hot slices delivered to those who need it most — and hopefully much more through community support.

Once again, our volunteers, community partners, and supporters will be joining hands to prepare and deliver pizzas throughout Kingston. This initiative will continue to support essential organizations such as:

• St. Vincent de Paul Society

• Martha’s Table & Dawn House

• Lunch by George

• Integrated Care Hub

• Kingston Interval House

• Adelaide Street Shelter

• And other local outreach programs

As in previous years, we welcome the involvement of city officials, community groups, businesses, and volunteers who believe in uplifting others during the holiday season.

A Tradition That Continues to Grow

Santa Slices has become more than a food donation program — it is a symbol of unity, generosity, and hope.
Thanks to the leadership of Jimmy Hassan, the dedication of CCKF volunteers, and the support of Kingston residents, this initiative becomes stronger each year.

We invite everyone to join us as we begin the 2025 Santa Slices journey. Whether through volunteering, donating, or sharing our message, your support helps warm hearts and bring smiles during the coldest time of year.

Together, we can continue to make the holidays brighter —
one slice at a time.

On Remembrance Day, the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation stood in solemn reflection to honour the courageous soldiers who served — and continue to serve — for the freedoms and peace we cherish as Canadians.

Our founder attended two significant ceremonies:

• The Civic Service of Remembrance at the Cross of Sacrifice Cenotaph in the morning

• The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 560 Remembrance Service in the afternoon

At both services, a wreath was laid on behalf of CCKF in tribute to every Canadian soldier who has fought, served, and sacrificed for our nation.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Rumit Sohal (Coordinator CCKF), Syed Rehman, Anjum P. Dar and  Zeeshan Ali Qureshi  for standing alongside CCKF and representing our organization with respect and dignity during these ceremonies.

Today and always, we honour their courage.
We honour their sacrifice.
We remember.

Lest we forget.

On October 30th, the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation (CCKF) Youth proudly hosted the Second Annual Remote Food Drive in support of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Kingston.

Despite a cold and rainy day, our volunteers showed exceptional dedication, going door-to-door across the Trillium District to collect donations. Their commitment — paired with the incredible generosity of local residents — resulted in an extraordinary 3,500 to 4,500 pounds of non-perishable food gathered for families in need.

This year’s Remote Food Drive stands as a powerful example of what can be accomplished when a community comes together with purpose and compassion.

The event was made even stronger through the collaboration of:

• Dr. Waji Khan and The Khan Foundation

• The Pilipinos Integrated Community Kingston, Ontario (PICKO)

• The generous residents of the Trillium District

• Our dedicated CCKF Youth leaders and volunteers

Your support helps fill shelves, warm hearts, and ensure that families across Kingston have access to essential food supplies during difficult times.

From everyone at the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation, thank you for making this initiative a true reflection of community, kindness, and unity.

🇨🇦 Celebrating Unity and Diversity at the Canada Day Parade!

What an incredible day! On July 1st, the Canadian Colours Kingston Foundation proudly participated in the Canada Day Parade to celebrate our beautiful country and its rich diversity.

The parade was filled with energy, joy, and vibrant colours as we marched alongside our Kingston community. It was also wonderful to see the Kingston Police Community Volunteers (KPCV) and Kingston Police playing such an important role in supporting the event. Their efforts in assisting the community and ensuring the parade ran smoothly truly stood out.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us, waved flags, and shared smiles along the route. Your enthusiasm made the event even more special! Together, we continue to build bridges and celebrate what it means to be Canadian.

Stay tuned for more updates and join us at our next community initiative!

🍁 Happy Canada Day from all of us at CCKF!
