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.
With 1 in 5 Albertans accessing a food bank, the need to fill our shelves has never been higher. Join us Together At The Table this February for a chili meal in support of community food banks across the province. Because no Albertan should go hungry.

– Robert, Food Bank Client
