Help feed families in Edmonton
It’s time to help replenish the cupboards at Edmonton’s Food Bank. We believe that families helping families is the quickest way to do that! It's as easy as taking a walk on a Fall day.
The week of the food drive, a few days leading up to the September 28, volunteers deliver bags to homes on their food collection routes.
People living on those routes will be able to donate simply by placing non-perishable food items on their front step. The day of the food drive, volunteers will pick up the food on their routes after 10am and bring to a collection site.
For volunteers, you can now sign up and select your route online.
You can volunteer for either delivering and collecting donation bags, or participating in food donation.

The donation bags are available at these locations.
Please deliver the bags on your route either on Wednesday, Sept. 25 or Thursday, Sept. 26.
If you run out of bags, you are done. Alternatively, if you are feeling motivated, you can pick up extra bags for delivery.
