The Food Drive

10/20/2025

🌟 From Condo Living to Community Giving! 🌟

When longtime Food Drive volunteers Derek Hudson and Jim Sutherland moved into neighbouring condo buildings, they didn’t hang up their food drive hats — they just got creative!

Instead of going door-to-door, Derek and Jim reached out to their condo boards for permission to place collection bins in the building foyers and share information through the condo portals. The response? Absolutely heartwarming. 💛

In just two weeks, the residents of the two buildings filled three overflowing bins — over 220 kg of food — for members of our Edmonton community in need. Edmonton’s Food Bank gladly picked up the generous donations as part of this year’s Food Drive.

👏 A huge thank you to Derek, Jim, and all the condo residents who joined in! Your creativity and compassion show that no matter where we live — “here’s a condo, there’s a condo, everywhere a condo” — we can all find ways to make a difference.

As C.S. Lewis once reminded us, helping others is one way we serve God, seeing Christ in each person we help. 💫

🚒❤️ Nothing brings a community together like service — and a fire truck!

The Harker family hit the streets for The Food Drive with some very special helpers: a crew from Edmonton Fire Rescue Services. The kids had the time of their lives collecting donations for Edmonton's Food Bank alongside real-life heroes, and the excitement inspired even more people to give.

Thanks to our brave firefighters for shining a light on The Food Drive and lending a hand in the fight against hunger. Because of your support, donations grew dramatically — and so did the smiles.
