Ugly Potato Day is Back - 2026 Edition!
Kelowna's Ugly Potato Day by Odd Bunch and Helen's Acres is a free community event where thousands of people come together to take home fresh produce that grocery stores rejected for being too big, too small, or just too odd-looking.
The Lake Country Food Bank will lend a hand alongside many other helping organizations from the Central Okanagan to give away the expected 200,000 lbs of rescued food that will be available - and it will all be completely free!

We can't wait to see you there!
