What’s Needed Wednesday (June 10) ☀️🌿

It's starting to feel a little more like summer with each passing day — gardens are blooming, evenings are getting longer, and the best of the season is yet to come..

Help us make this season a little brighter for local families by donating the items our shelves need most this week!

Thank you for caring and sharing 🙏

We were honoured to have been invited to the ribbon cutting celebration at the 10fold Regional Field House last week! 🎉

Thanks to the generosity of event attendees, proceeds from the raffle prize draw and a portion of food sales from Real Mexican Food were donated to the Okotoks Food Bank. To make the impact even greater the 10FOLD Group matched the donation, bringing the total contribution to an incredible $1,485.

We are so grateful to have been included in this special event and deeply appreciate 10FOLD's ongoing commitment to supporting families in our community. Thank you for helping make a difference!

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers and players of the Peanut Butter Classic Golf Tournament for their incredible generosity and support.

We were invited to pick up 600 jars of peanut butter, which will be a welcome addition to our food hampers. While we were there, Heather, the founder of the tournament surprised us with an amazing $5,000 donation to support our Prenatal and Baby Hamper Program!

We are honoured to have the Peanut Butter Classic Golf Tournament as a project funder for this important program and are so grateful for their commitment to helping women and children in our community. 💜

On World Environment Day, we recognize that building a stronger community also means caring for our environment.

Through our food rescue program and community garden, the Okotoks Food Bank helps reduce food waste while increasing access to fresh, nutritious food for local families.

A special thank you to our food rescue partners for helping us divert food from landfills, and to our local farmers who pick up any food we are unable to use, ensuring it continues to benefit our community.

Together, we can create a future that is both environmentally sustainable and food secure. 💚🌱

What’s Needed Wednesday (June 3) 🌧️

The good news: everything is finally turning green! The bad news: so many rainy days, we're starting to forget what the sun looks like. ☔

Help us create a little sunshine for local families in need, and top up the items our shelves need most this week!

Thank you for caring and sharing 🙏
