Christmas Hampers
We are providing a Christmas Hampers again this year. You may choose a turkey or a ham.
The Christmas project takes place from Dec 15-18. Dec 15 & 16 are setup days as we prepare the hampers. Dec 17th is the pick up day. Cleanup is on the 18th.
Pre-registration is required. Submit your request using the online form on the Need A Hamper page or phone 403-612-1291.
Once you’ve registered for a hamper, you will be contacted by the Food Bank staff and given a pickup time on Dec 17th.
COVID-19 Changes
As always, we are open every Tuesday from 1:00 -3:00 PM but our procedures have changed during COVID-19.
Clients will not be allowed into the building during COVID-19. Hampers must be requested in advance – either by phone or through our online form.
Hampers will be packed by our volunteers and you will be given a pick-up time for Tuesday between 1:00 – 3:00 PM and your hamper will be placed outside for you to load into your vehicle.
Visit our “Need A Hamper” page for all the details and to use our online request form.
We also want to keep our volunteers safe so we’ve modified our procedures for them. See more information on our “Lend A Hand” page.
Alberta SPCA has introduced the Help for Animals Program – see more information here.
Items We Need
Flour
Tinned Tuna & Salmon
Pancake Mix & Syrup
Cooking Oil
Toilet Paper
Pet Food – We do not purchase pet food so we rely on donations from the community to ensure that we have it in stock. Please help if you can?
COVID-19 Safety Concerns
We would like to keep drop-off donations to a minimum. Our volunteers are awesome & to protect them we want to limit the amount of extra handling & sorting they need to do during the pandemic. The Food Bank places a weekly order with the grocery store to re-stock our inventory.
We will accept drop off food on Tuesdays from 11 am – 12pm.
During COVID-19
We expect to see increased need for the balance of 2020. These are uncertain times & quite unpredictable but we are in it together.
The Oilfields Food Bank will remain open & ensure our community members do not go hungry.
Cash donations to help us purchase what is needed are very welcome.
