2024 Mayor's Annual Food Drive - Nov 27 - Dec 8
As we’ve done in years past, Team Ward 9 will be supporting the Mayor’s Annual Food Drive. With economic pressures making it more challenging for many Calgarians to afford basic needs, The Calgary Food Bank continues to see record-breaking demand for food support.
From November 27 until December 8, 2024, City Council will be collecting non-perishable food donations and monetary contributions for The Calgary Food Bank. If you’re able, please give generously to help support our neighbors in need.
For every dollar donated, the Calgary Food Bank is able to distribute $3.50 worth of food.
Financial Donations
Donations of monetary funds can be made online HERE. This page will be live beginning Nov 27th until Dec 8, 2024.
Please note: Canada Helps is being used to facilitate online donations for this fundraiser. Once your donation is made, you will automatically receive a tax receipt from Canada Helps to your email inbox.
Food Donations
Food donations can be dropped off at any of our Ward 9 community collection locations:
YCAP Market at Wood’s Homes Inglewood Hub – 1008 14 Street SE
Ogden 50+ Activity Centre – 2102 69 Avenue SE
Forest Lawn Library – 4807 8 Avenue SE
Some of the most requested items include: canned vegetables and fruit, canned meat, cereal, canned beans, baby formula, nut butters, pasta, pasta sauce (non-glass jars),, and rice.
