Red Deer Food Bank

Red Deer Food Bank The Food Bank provides emergency food assistance for people in Red Deer and immediate area. This is a problem we can address.

Our Purpose
We are the first line of support when people are facing food insecurity. Our Rallying Cry
In the face of many unsolvable global issues, it’s easy to feel apathetic and unsure how to make a positive impact. But the truth is, the best way to make change is to start here and now. In our community, there is an abundance of food, yet people still go hungry. We have the supply, the knowledge, and the connections to feed those in crisis. All we need is people to step up and join in. Let’s work together so no one goes hungry. Our Vision:
Accessible food for all. Our Mission:
To relieve hunger today, prevent hunger tomorrow. Our Values:

*Collaboration
We engage our community in working towards lasting social change, where all are supported to seek help and assist each other.

*Equity
We recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every person and treat all with respect and compassion.

*Food Security
We believe access to healthy food and proper nutrition is a fundamental human right.

*Innovation
We continuously pursue new and refined solutions to serve the needs of our community.

The local need is real, and behind every number is a neighbour. ❤️

In 2025, the Red Deer Food Bank supported 30,500 people in our community through more than 44,000 pantry visits.

And 40% of the people we served were children.

These numbers are big, but they aren’t just statistics.

They represent families trying to make groceries stretch a little further. Parents making difficult choices. Seniors, children, and neighbours who needed some extra support.

This is why we’re setting the table.

Your donation helps make sure there is food on the shelves and a place at the table when someone in our community needs it.

Help us keep setting the table. Donate today.

No, those are not tiny fish eggs... they're basil seeds in a sweet syrup and they're delicious!

This traditional, sticky rice dessert was one of three courses chef Lauren put together for our private Thai class last week. It was a blast!

Muir Lettuce has been one of our most reliable, year-round vegetables. The Leafy Green Machine Hydroponic farm gives us weekly, fresh lettuce heads 365 days and in the summer we are able to double up by growing lettuce in the greenhouse as well. Thank you Garden 49 for all your hard work that is putting Muir lettuce in the hampers!
