'Tis the season of helping to feed someone in need in our community! This year's Festive Campaign will run from November 12, 2019 to January 10, 2020, and our goals are to raise 370,000 kilograms of food and $2,000,000. This food and funds will help provide festive community meals and hampers while ensuring our services remain consistent going into 2020. See our list of upcoming events this holiday season, along with the other ways to donate.
The Festive Brown Bags are out in the community the week of November 18. The bags include ways and locations to make donations (see list below). We will also accept any sized bag or box for donations. There are over 400 events in schools, businesses, and community groups that are raising food and funds in support of the Food Bank, including YEG Candy Cane Lane which runs December 12 - January 1. More events are listed on our events page. To start a food drive or fundraiser in your office or school, please reach out to us at 780-425-2133 or email someone on our special events team.
"We appreciate any contribution that you can give us during the festive season," said Marjorie Bencz, Executive Director. "When you support Edmonton's Food Bank, you are helping over 250 other groups to provide community meals and family hampers now and into the new year."
