We are so grateful to Walmart for joining us at the Airdrie Food Bank and helping with food sorting in our warehouse. 💙

Sorting food is an important step in our process. It allows us to carefully check best before dates and ensure everything moving through our building is safe and ready for use. It also helps us cycle food properly so items are used at their peak freshness and nothing goes to waste.

From there, some donations are selected for our hampers while other food items are placed directly into our pantry for clients to choose from based on their needs.

We are so appreciative of your time, energy, and support in helping us keep things running smoothly and serving our community with care and dignity. Thank you, Walmart, for making a difference alongside us!

What an incredible group of students! 💙

While taking part in an outdoor school yard cleanup, these students found $150 and made the thoughtful decision to donate it to the Airdrie Food Bank to help individuals and families in our community.

Their kindness, compassion, and generosity are such a wonderful reminder that even small acts can make a big impact. We are so grateful for their support and for the opportunity to meet with them and share more about the work we do.

Thank you for thinking of your community and helping make a difference!

Knights net $53,000 worth of donations for Airdrie Food Bank
Airdrie Knights of Columbus Council 8045, Airdrie Catholic schools, and St Paul’s Parish raised funds and food during Lent.

Airdrie Knights of Columbus Council 8045 combined forces with local Catholic schools and St. Paul’s Parish to raise donations for the Airdrie Food Bank.

In the ninth year for the Food for Families campaign, which encourages councils to conduct a 40 Cans for Lent program, each member of the council, along with participating parishioners, aims to donate one can of food for each day of Lent.

Knights of Columbus member Wayne MacGillivary said the amount of food raised through the program was the dollar equivalent of $53,274.

"We know hunger knows no season and parishioners and Knights were encouraged to give what they can and drop it off at St Paul's," MacGillvary said. "Monetary donations were [also] accepted and tax receipts were issued through the food bank."

Meghan West, executive director of the Airdrie Food Bank, said the 40 Cans for Lent program continues to be an incredible demonstration of community spirit generosity.

"We are deeply grateful to the Airdrie Knights of Columbus, parish members, and the four Catholic schools’ community for their ongoing commitment to this campaign," West shared. "The continued leadership of the Knights of Columbus and the support of the broader community make a meaningful and lasting difference for those we serve.”

The 2026 campaign achieved 11,419 pounds of food collected, representing a food value of $41,565.16. Combined with monetary donations of $11,709.30, the total reached $53,274.46.

"This project highlights the importance of coming together as a community to help others," MacGillivary added.
