🍁 Help us set a Thanksgiving table for a veteran family.

Our Red Deer Veterans Food Bank is collecting holiday food items to help ensure the veterans and families we serve can enjoy a warm and comforting Thanksgiving meal.

Every turkey, pie, package of stuffing or can of vegetables brings us one step closer to filling another family’s table.

📍 Donations can be dropped off at:
430-7700 76 Street Close, Red Deer, AB

Thank you for helping make this Thanksgiving one to remember. 🦃❤️

WHY DO WE WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS?

R.E.D. stands for Remember Everyone Deployed.

Each Friday, Canadians wear red to honor the members of our Canadian Armed Forces who are serving away from home. It is a simple gesture carrying a powerful message: they are seen, they are remembered and their service and sacrifices are deeply appreciated.

We also recognize the families waiting at home—the spouses, children, parents and loved ones who carry their own worries and make sacrifices alongside those deployed.

Wearing red reminds our serving members that distance does not mean they have been forgotten. It brings communities together in gratitude, respect and solidarity.

Today, and every Friday, we wear red and proudly say:

We see you. We remember you. We stand beside you.

Because Service Never Ends.

❤️ LOOK WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A COMMUNITY CARES.

One person donates a bag of groceries.
Another gives a few dollars.
A gardener shares fresh vegetables.
A business sponsors a project.
A volunteer gives an afternoon.

Individually, these gestures may seem small. Together, they provide healthy food, safe spaces, compassionate support, dignity and hope.

To every person who has donated, volunteered, shared one of our posts or simply told someone about CAVSS—thank you.

You are part of every life touched by this mission.

Because Service Never Ends.

🦸‍♀️ NO CAPE REQUIRED—BUT COMFORTABLE SHOES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The real superheroes at CAVSS don’t fly. They stock shelves, organize donations, clean, make phone calls, attend outreaches, welcome guests and listen when someone needs a caring ear.

Every volunteer brings different abilities, but they all share one thing: a desire to help those who have served.

If you have a little time, a helpful spirit and room in your heart for one more mission, we would love to hear from you.

Small acts of service can create enormous hope.

Because Service Never Ends.

🥒 HAS YOUR GARDEN BEEN A LITTLE TOO GENEROUS?

Are tomatoes covering every counter? Are potatoes taking over the pantry? Are the zucchini multiplying when nobody is looking?

Our Food Banks would be delighted to share your harvest abundance with the veterans, first responders and families we serve.

We welcome fresh potatoes, tomatoes, corn, carrots, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, leafy greens, apples, pears and other seasonal produce.

Even one bag or basket can make a meaningful difference.

From your garden to their table—let’s grow hope together.

Because Service Never Ends.

🦸 CALLING ALL GROCERY HEROES!

Our Food Bank shelves have an important mission: providing veterans, first responders and their families with healthy food and essential supplies.

Could you help complete the mission by donating a few groceries?

Every can, bag, box and bottle helps our guests shop privately and select what their families need with dignity.

No cape is required—just a caring heart and perhaps an extra bag of groceries!

Fill a shelf. Feed hope.

Because Service Never Ends.

🌅 An early start with a beautiful sunrise and a purpose close to my heart.

This morning, I headed into Red Deer to meet up with Colette for a presentation to MRAAM, Adult Community Addiction and Mental Health, sharing the work of the Canadian Veterans Services Society, our food banks, and Clearwater Retreat.

These opportunities help us build connections so more veterans, first responders, and their families know where to turn for support. Whether it’s access to food with dignity, a peaceful place to recharge, or someone ready to listen, compassion and connection are at the heart of what we do. 💙

Thank you to the MRAAM team for the opportunity to share our mission, and to Colette for working hard to make these connections possible. Every conversation is another opportunity to reach someone who may need us.

🌟 MEET OUR TEAM: COLLETTE 🌟

Since joining the Canadian Veterans Services Society, Collette hasn’t missed a beat! She stepped into a whole new world, took it by storm and now proudly runs our Red Deer Veterans Food Bank.

From cleaning and organizing to attending meetings and outreaches, writing donation letters, making follow-up calls and checking on guests she hasn’t heard from in a while—Collette truly does it all.

What makes Collette so special is the heart she brings to her work. She doesn’t simply keep the food bank running; she notices when someone has been quiet, reaches out and makes sure they know they have not been forgotten.

When she is home, Collette enjoys quieter moments with her husband, Richard, spending time in their garden and visiting with family.

Thank you, Collette, for your compassion, dedication and the countless things you do—both seen and unseen. The Red Deer Veterans Food Bank and our entire CVSS family are incredibly fortunate to have you! 💖

Because Service Never Ends.
