The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Auxiliary members across the province will unite on Saturday, October 3, 2026, for Operation FULL PLATE, a one-day food drive aimed at supporting local food banks and helping address food insecurity in communities across Ontario.
Serving communities has been at the heart of the OPP Auxiliary Program for more than 65 years. Operation FULL PLATE builds on that tradition of service by bringing Auxiliary members and the communities they serve together to support local food banks and help address food insecurity challenges affecting people in every region of Ontario.
Members of the public are encouraged to support Operation FULL PLATE by donating non-perishable food items and other essential goods at participating community collection locations on Saturday, October 3.

“Service doesn’t always look the same. Sometimes it’s supporting frontline officers, sometimes it’s helping at a community event, and sometimes it’s making sure a neighbour has food on their table. Operation FULL PLATE reflects what our Auxiliary members have always been about: showing up for their communities when it matters.”
– Matthew Manor, A/Auxiliary Staff Sergeant
