Thanks Chris!

Thank you to local resident Chris Reynolds who has been busking in town & collecting money for the Food Bank.

We applaud your kindness & caring. Folks like you make our community stronger!

Thanks Diamond Valley PetValu

Huge thanks to Pet Valu & everyone in the community for donating to the food bank when they are in the store.

It is a big stress relief for our folks to know their pets will be eating too. 920.4 KGS of food has been donated since the start of 2024. AWESOME!

SURPRISED & GRATEFUL to receive a donation from Alberta Blue Cross.

Last week, Amanda Croot pulled up in her truck with a variety of items (she had thoughtfully called to ask what we needed). We added 161.5 kgs of much needed supplies to our inventory.

WOW! THANK YOU!

Millarville Chucks & Chariots & Bulls

Oilfields Food Bank recognizes & thanks Millarville Chucks & Chariots & Bulls (MCCB) for their recent generous financial donation. It warms our hearts when local groups run an event & part of their plan is to help the community.

THANK YOU for being so mindful of others!

SHEEP RIVER LIBRARY & AG FOODS

Thank you for your on-going, stead-fast support. And we appreciate you being a ‘home’ to our Oilfields Food Bank donation drums.

We are grateful & count you among our blessings.

OHS Vertical Growing Initiative

What an innovative & forward-thinking program. THANK YOU to the students & staff at Oilfields High School. The donation of these green living gifts are appreciated by all our folks and this type of nutrient-dense food is so nourishing.

HURRAY FOR THE RESIDENTS OF GLEN MEAD!

A couple of times a month we receive donations delivered right to our door from these special people.

We are so very appreciative.

Thank You – Foothills Salvage Yard Donation

Thank you to the Foothills Salvage Centre for their recent donation of $6,899. Oilfields Food Bank is so grateful for your ongoing year-after-year support.

Did you know that when you drop items at the Salvage Centre they share the monies from those donations with local charities? During their recent round of givings they contributed $167,000 to charities within the County of Foothills. Bravo!

And, special thanks to the many volunteers who keep the wheels turning & who choose to donate the dollar value of those hours to a charity of their choice. It is immensely kind of you to do so.

Taste of Diamond Valley Raises $13,000!

The Taste of Diamond Valley event held on Apr. 20th was a huge success! Thank you to everyone involved for their donation to Oilfields Food Bank.

The event raised $6,500 & an anonymous donor matched that amount to bring the total to $13,000.

Thank you to the Turner Valley Golf & Country Club for hosting the event. These funds will support local folks who are struggling to feed themselves.

More & more working families are reaching out for help during these tough times. And this kind of caring & support ensures everyone who needs it will receive a food hamper.

Alberta – Special Needs Assistance for Seniors

Are you an Alberta Senior (65+) who could use some additional support? A new program (Special Needs Assistance for Seniors) began in January 2024.

If you qualify they offer help in many areas including: diabetes supplies, nutritional beverages, podiatry, prescriptions, clothing, home cleanup, yard maintenance, utility disconnection, medical trips, appliances and so much more.

Your previous year’s income is used to determine your eligibility for the benefit year which runs from July 1 of the current year to June 30th of the next year.

Support from Foothills Energy Co-op

We would like to welcome Foothills Energy Co-op as one of our supporters. Their recent donation of $2500 will be used to help purchase a much-needed cooler. Our old one has been limping along but is nearing the end of its time.

So AWESOME of you to jump in & help out.
