🚓STUFF A CRUISER 🚓

A huge thank you to our local RCMP for another successful Stuff a Cruiser food drive!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, 1085lbs of food was collected, along with $290 in financial contributions.

We are incredibly grateful for the RCMP's continued commitment to giving back and helping strengthen our community. 💚

❌MYTH: Food insecurity only affects adults
🗒FACT: 1 in 3 food bank clients in Canada are children

Children make up approximately 36% of the individuals accessing Alberta food banks, highlighting the growing impact of food insecurity on families across our province.

Help us raise awareness and challenging common misconceptions.
