Filling Tanks & Filling Tummies
Food Banks Canada’s Capacity Boost Fund – Hub Stream is made possible through the generous support of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Foundation to support larger hubs to improve their ability to acquire and share food more efficiently throughout their region. In 2021, Red Deer Food Bank was awarded this grant, and we are grateful beyond words.
