Spring Food Drive for Red Deer Food Bank
Red Deer families will volunteer their time in a massive food drive taking place this weekend.
Alberta’s economic downturn has been challenging for Central Alberta families and many have turned to the Red Deer Food Bank for help.
“We’ve definitely seen an increased demand over the last two years,” says Alice Kolisnyk, Deputy Director of the Red Deer Food Bank. The food is going out as fast as it’s coming in. Red Deer residents have always been supportive of the Red Deer Food Bank,” Kolisnyk explains. “When we put out a call for help, they always come through.”
A spring food drive organized by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Red Deer has become an important way for the Red Deer Food Bank to stock its shelves.
