Programs

Building a Hunger-Free Alberta

We’re on the front lines fighting hunger every day. By ensuring timely meal deliveries and providing crucial support, we keep hope alive across our communities.

Our two core programs, ‘Food & Warehouse Management‘ and ‘Member Support & Services,‘ are central to our mission.

The first streamlines food distribution to meet urgent needs, while the second equips local food banks with the tools and training necessary to succeed. Together, these programs solidify our commitment to nourishing and strengthening Alberta.

Join Us in the Fight Against Hunger in Alberta

Food Banks in Alberta embody the ideal of making the most out of what you have been given. Through the generosity of everyday Albertans and the support of corporate and government partners, we can continue doing what needs to be done to address food insecurity in our communities with consideration, compassion, efficiency, and effectiveness.

Donate

Through donations of food, Albertans show their commitment to feeding their neighbours. Every can and box we receive is placed into the hands of someone who truly needs it.

Through monetary donations, our partners show their commitment to support the organizations that work tirelessly on behalf of those in need. Food banks rely on the generosity of Albertans to cool our freezers, heat our warehouses, and fuel our trucks.
