Fort McMurray, you’re invited.

Introducing The Social. A Gatsby-inspired night of music, mystery and connection.

On October 30th, the Fort McMurray Golf Club will look a little different.

Behind the doors, Dueling Pianos, an intimate atmosphere, and a few things we’re not quite ready to tell you about yet.

Your $75 ticket is your seat to the live show and your invitation to experience everything else The Social has waiting for you.

The evening is proudly presented by Paige Cyr - The Agency North Central Alberta, in support of Wood Buffalo Food Bank Association.

🗒️FACT: Food bank inventory is constantly changing. What we have on our shelves this week may look very different next week.

While the Wood Buffalo Food Bank hosts two major food drives each year, our Fall Food Drive and Spring Food Drive, it is the ongoing generosity of our community that helps keep our shelves stocked year-round.

From families donating a few pantry items to small businesses and large organizations hosting food drives, every contribution helps ensure we can continue supporting individuals and families in our community when they need it most.

💚Thank you to everyone who donates, volunteers and advocates for food security in Wood Buffalo.

🚚 Ever wonder how food donations make their way to the Wood Buffalo Food Bank?

Each week, our team travels across the community to pick up donations from local businesses and partners. These pickups play a vital role in helping us replenish fresh food and maintain inventory for the individuals and families we serve.
We couldn't do it alone. Our amazing volunteers help us collect donations from multiple locations, ensuring food reaches our shelves and, ultimately, our community.
