Local Food With Purpose
Kitchen 49 is a social enterprise of the Red Deer Food Bank.
Every dollar earned through catering, classes, and our food trucks goes directly back into funding our food hub, pantry, and food recovery programs, helping us feed more families in Central Alberta.
From catering and special events to cooking classes, kitchen rentals, and our three food trucks, every service we provide has a purpose. Every booking, every class registration, and every purchase made at one of our food trucks directly supports the work of the Red Deer Food Bank and helps ensure individuals and families in Central Alberta have access to nutritious food and vital support services.
