HELPING THE LESS FORTUNATE

Dec 4, 2019 | 5:39 AM

RED DEER- Westerner Park’s annual Christmas Artisan Market broke their all-time food bank donation record this past weekend.

The Christmas Artisan Market took place on November 30 in the Harvest Centre and attendees were asked to bring donations for the Red Deer & District Food Bank (RDDFB) in lieu of their admission.

The Central Alberta community helped raise an impressive 1280 lbs. of food and $1700.95 for the RDDFB.

That nearly doubled the amount of non-perishable food items from the 2018 event.

The family festival style shopping experience featured over 40 local and artisan vendors, with plenty of free activities for families to enjoy.
