The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints city-wide food drive is happening May 24. Watch for your yellow bags in your mailbox or on your doorstep, fill it up up with food for the Red Deer Food Bank, and leave it on your doorstep Saturday morning for pick up.

Easiest donation ever.

Would you prefer an outing?

The public is welcome to come by the Food Bank and not only donate food or funds, but also see the changes in the food services, distribution and production areas of our operations.

You will have your choice of a self-guided tour so you can go at your own pace, or join a group and have a staff member take you through the facility.

Some short presentations and Q&A times have been set aside so you can pop in for a closer look and more details about areas of special interest to you:

11:00 am – 12:00 pm — Hydroponic Sea Cans

11:30 am – 12:30 pm — Co-op Community Spaces Food Farm

1:00 pm – 1:30 pm — Microgreens

1:30 pm – 2:30 pm — Greenhouse

2:00 pm – 3:00 pm — Kitchen 49 (Culinary Services updates)

3:00 pm – 4:00 pm — Warehouse

(Outside of the times stated, food production operations will be closed to the public with information available near the growing units. Kitchen 49 will be accessible all day.)

Totally Chill ice cream truck will have 2024-priced ice cream available, and the Culinary team is coming up with some new and flavourful creations for the day, so you can get a wide variety of tastes from the Community Kitchen.

WEATHER NOTE! We are proceeding rain or shine. There may be some limitations in outdoor access and activity, but we can enjoy our eats and treats in the back of Bay 10 if the clouds open up on us.

Hope to see you there!
