Mustard Seed and the Red Deer Food Bank join forces to help those in need
After much collaboration and a significant donation, The Mustard Seed is now a satellite location for the Red Deer Food Bank.
The location provides a more centralized pickup location for people needing to utilize the food bank, and Byron Bradley, Managing Director for Central Alberta for the Mustard Seed, said accessibility is key.
“People that are affected by poverty and homelessness, especially people with mobility issues, getting to the north can be really tough. It takes a lot more resources,” said Bradley.
He added that the first three clients who came through doors on Thursday were within walking distance.
