Lake Country Community Fridge

05/31/2026

Thanks to our volunteers - Dawn, Randi, Sandra & Shona - who gave their time and energy to make 36 perogie casseroles and 19 Shepherd’s Pies for the Lake Country Community Fridge.🩷 The food will be slowly dispersed over the coming weeks into the community fridge for community members in need to enjoy. Thank you for making Lake Country a warmer, kinder place!

🤔 Did you know that you could drop off your empties to the Winfield Return-It Centre and ask them to put the money on the Lake Country Community Fridge account? A little each time adds up to a lot over the course of a year! 👏
