The Red Deer & District Community Foundation (RDDCF) Board of Directors says they will be giving $10,000 in funding to supplement the distribution of annual Christmas Bannock Bags to over 200 Indigenous households in Red Deer.
This month, the RDDCF says they were approached by several local Indigenous agencies who shared a collective concern about imminent issues of food insecurity for the community members they serve.
The Christmas Bannock Bags provide dried goods to make bannock, a type of Indigenous bread, as well as other essentials.
Officials say the emergency funding from the RDDCF was used to purchase gift cards to be included in the Bags, to be used by recipients to purchase a protein, or any other necessities from Central Alberta Co-op, who also contributed by donating additional gift cards.
