Parkland Food Bank Society is conducting a #GiveHealthy food drive to raise fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and other healthy food items. We know that hunger is a health issue and we want to raise food that will have the most positive impact.

The purpose of Parkland Food Bank is to address the needs of hunger among residents of Spruce Grove, Stony Plain and Parkland County. We provide weekly access to food for individuals and families in short term, long term and emergency situations.

Parkland Food Bank gave out over 16,500 food hampers to 1700 separate households in 2017. When we count each instance a client accessed the food bank, we provided 2-5 days' worth of food for 43,285 people. Our clients are usually eligible to receive two different types of hampers.

Full Hamper - Consists of a standard pre-packed box of non-perishable items, plus milk, meat, eggs to which a box of available produce and pastry is added. Clients can help themselves to bread. These hampers are designed according to the number of people in a family and to last a period of four or five days. Clients may receive one Full Hamper every calendar month. 

Weekly Hamper - Are primarily made up of perishable items (Bread, Produce, Pastry) picked up Monday to Saturday from our local retail outlets. Clients can come once any week they are not reciving a Full Hamper. Additional canned or frozen items as well as cleaning supplies, personal supplies or baby supplies are added as supplies permit.

H2 Weekly Hamper - for clients that have no access to cooking appliances or refrigeration, we provide a hamper of ready to eat, non-perishable food that clients can access once a week.

Please join us by participating in our partnership with #GiveHealthy, we will be able to provide more nutritious food to those who need it most. We not only want to feed people, we want to keep their health in mind as well.
