Join us on October 5th for the 2nd Annual Kanata Bites & Delights,
a unique tasting event in support of the Kanata Food Cupboard's School Snacks Program.

Local restaurants, breweries, wineries, and specialty food vendors will come together for an evening of delicious food, beverages, and community connection. Guests will have the opportunity to sample a variety of offerings while helping ensure local students have access to nutritious snacks throughout the school year.

What is the School Snacks Program?

The Kanata Food Cupboard's School Snacks Program provides healthy snacks to students in local schools, helping children stay focused, engaged, and ready to learn.

For many families, rising food costs continue to create difficult choices. This program helps fill an important gap by ensuring students have access to nutritious food during the school day, while reducing pressure on families and school staff.

Funds raised through Bites & Delights directly support this vital community program.

Building on a successful first year

Following a successful inaugural event, Bites & Delights returns for its second year with even more opportunities to enjoy local food and support a meaningful cause.

The response has already been incredibly encouraging, with more than 85 tickets sold as of June 20. We're grateful for the enthusiasm shown by our community and look forward to welcoming both returning and first-time guests this October.

What to expect

  • Tastings from local food and beverage vendors
  • Opportunities to discover new local favourites
  • A welcoming evening with friends, neighbours, and community supporters
  • Silent auctions, prizes, and special experiences
  • The chance to make a direct impact on local students and families
