Food Banks in Alberta are independent organizations registered as charities and/or not-for-profits that rely on a combination of community, corporate and government support to operate.
Like all Albertans, food banks need money to pay their rent and utilities, fuel their trucks, and support the staff who serve their clients respectfully and compassionately.
Donating money to food banks helps feed the organizations that feed their communities
The people that require support of food banks in our province may surprise you. Our largest growth service demographic are families and individuals with jobs who, within the current affordability crisis, cannot make ends meet.
Food Banks Alberta supports our member food banks through advocacy, funding, training, information, and operations assistance.
This allows food banks, particularly those that are small, rural and/or remote, to focus their time, efforts, and resources on what they do best: feeding their Communities.
All you have to do is ask. Reach out to FBA or your local community food bank and ask what you can do to help.
Donations of money and food are always appreciated, but there are also other creative ways you can give your time, energy and enthusiasm to assist us in addressing food insecurity in Alberta.
Contact us, and we will do our very best to answer your questions. If we don’t have the answer, we will work hard to find it.
