LEAD. FEED. SHARE.
Our leadership and strong relationships create connected communities.
In 2021, Alberta Food banks distributed over 1.4 million lbs of healthy food to our member food banks – and in turn, into the hands of Albertans who needed it the most.
During this time Food Banks Alberta is supporting our members to make sure people have the help they need. Recovering from a wildfire takes time and our thoughts are with all Albertans during this time.
