THANK YOU SO MUCH to members of the Turner Valley Line Dancers for their donation of $250. Simply knowing that people gather together and then look for ways to help their community is incredible. It certainly gives all of the volunteers at the Oilfields Food Bank a real lift.

Donate to Global FoodBanking Network Emergency Response Fund

With the rise in global emergencies and disasters the demand for food is unbearably high.

The Global FoodBanking Network is uniquely positioned to support food banks all over the world in times of crisis. They partner with food banks to ensure they have the training, funds, and facilities to become more resilient and better able to support their communities during times of unrest or disaster.

Invest in the Global Foodbanking Networks Emergency Response Fund today so they can ensure that food banks have the resources they need to prepare, respond and recover.

We’d Like to Thank Our Anonymous Donors

How do you thank someone who doesn’t want to be thanked, namely our anonymous donors? We want to give credit where credit is due so THANK YOU for having our back. We appreciate your support. It means the world to all of us who volunteer at Oilfields Food Bank.

We couldn’t do it without you, whoever you are, wherever you are we offer our sincere gratitude.

RJ Sigurdson Presents Cheque to Oilfields Food Bank

Oilfields Food Bank was presented with a cheque for almost $50,000 from RJ Sigurdson.

The funding is from a pair of provincial grants, the Food Security Grant and Donation Matching Grant. The number of people needing help with food and the continuing rise in the cost of food has been a challenge.

This will help replenish the food pantry so we can continue to meet the needs of everyone who comes through the door. We are very grateful.
