Smokin’ Hot BBQ, located at Huntsville’s historic train station, has teamed up with Toronto charity Feed It Forward to bring warmth and nourishment to the Huntsville community this Christmas Day.
On December 25, 2025, from 2 to 4 p.m., free Christmas dinners will be available for take-out to anyone in need.
“Christmas is a time for giving and togetherness,” said Chef Jagger Gordon, founder and CEO of Feed It Forward. “By partnering with Smokin’ Hot BBQ, we’re able to extend our mission of feeding Canadians rather than landfills to the wonderful communities of Huntsville and surrounding areas in the Muskoka region. These meals are made with rescued and surplus food donated by Feed it Forward, turning potential waste into moments of joy for families on this special day of the year.”
Smokin’ Hot BBQ, located at 26 Station Road, is proud to host and contribute to this event, where the food will be prepared and distributed on Christmas Day.
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to the community,” said Larry Moore, owner of Smokin’ Hot BBQ. “We’re excited to open our doors on Christmas Day and share these special meals with those who need them most.”
The take-out dinners are open to all – no registration required. Simply arrive at Smokin’ Hot BBQ between 2 and 4 p.m. on Christmas Day while supplies last.
Feed It Forward has a long history of providing millions of meals across Canada by rescuing surplus food and redistributing it to those facing food insecurity. This collaboration marks an inspiring expansion of their efforts into Muskoka.
