Each week of Hunger Action Month will focus on a different part of the issue:

● Week 1 – Hunger Is Closer Than You Think: Helping people understand who uses the Food Bank and why more individuals and families are asking for help.

● Week 2 – Food Fuels a Child’s Future: Focusing on how access to food affects children’s ability to learn, grow and take part in school.

● Week 3 – Every Action Matters: Sharing the different ways individuals, businesses and community groups can donate, volunteer, organize a drive or raise awareness.

● Week 4 – Stronger Communities Start at the Table: Showing how the Red Deer Food Bank works with partner agencies and regional food banks to support people throughout Central Alberta.

The Red Deer campaign launch comes just a few days after Food Banks Alberta shared that its warehouse, which supplies 112 member food banks, is critically low.
