This is what poverty
can look like in The Fort.
Spoiler Alert – Not everyone who needs a helping hand is weak, and not everyone who needs a helping of food is poor. Sometimes life just bites. With your generous donation of time, funds or healthy fresh and non-perishable staple meal items, our local Food Bank will endure to bite back and serve a little hope and happiness to the people of Fort Saskatchewan in various times of need.
Our Thanksgiving hampers include the essentials for a holiday meal, allowing you to enjoy a warm and comforting Thanksgiving dinner with loved ones.
If you are a resident of Fort Saskatchewan and would like to apply, please complete the registration form by October 8. Hampers will be available for pick-up at the Fort Saskatchewan Nourishment Centre on October 11, 2024, between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
For more information or assistance, please contact us at 780-998-4099.
