Food and toy hampers are distributed at Christmas to local families, children’s homes, and shelters in need. Toy and gift donations are accepted all year long and can be made at any time throughout the year to the Food Bank.

Donations of food, funds, and toys can also be made during the annual Christmas Hamper Campaign which runs from November 1 to December 31, and may be made at local Safeway, Freson Brothers, and Co-op stores, and to the Food Bank. Be sure to check out our Events page for fundraising activities. To volunteer this holiday season, fill in our volunteer form.

Join us in making Christmas merry for Fort Saskatchewan! Arrive at the Nourishment Centre between 9am and 12noon to spread some holiday cheer by delivering a hamper to a family.

We welcome you to bring your family with you in the vehicle for the delivery, however individuals under the age of 18 are asked to remain in the vehicle when taking the hamper to the door to respect the privacy of our clients.

You will need an empty back seat or trunk, proof of insurance and your driver’s license. If you have any questions email general@fsnc.ca for more information.
