Edmonton's Food Bank

This amazing team from Edmonton's Food Bank met to start planning The Food Drive scheduled for September 19th. Did you know the annual event is in its 17th year? Last year thousands of volunteers from 17 local communities collected non perishable food for their local food bank.

Donations totalled more than 450,000 pounds of food! Edmontonians donated almost 300,000 pounds to Edmonton's Food Bank.

The drive is organized by volunteers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints . Look for opportunities to volunteer for the drive in a local congregation or on JustServe.org

We welcomed this wonderful youth group from St. Jacob's Syriac Orthodox Church, Edmonton! They spent time packing hampers for our fellow Edmontonians in need.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do and to see these youth giving back is inspiring! Join our amazing team of volunteers today! Thank YOU!

O'Hanlon Paving Ltd. is generous supporters of our work. In May, Rob, on behalf of O'Hanlon, donated over 4,500 kg of potatoes, carrots, and onions to the Food Bank!

These root vegetables will be kept in our new cooler, made possible by the students at Strathcona High School through their Scona Initiative. From there, they will be repacked and placed on our hamper line, with many also going to our agency partners.

Thank YOU O'Hanlon for continuing to support our work!

Our Executive Director, Marjorie Bencz, recently had the pleasure of joining Food Banks Canada to pack food kits, helping ensure children have access to nutritious food throughout the summer months.

When school meal programs pause, these kits help fill the gap so kids can stay healthy, active, and ready to thrive!

Classic cars AND giving back? Count us in! Join the EACC on their Mystery Tour on June 3 for a motorcade of classic charm. More details here: https://loom.ly/KCGjKJE
