Huge thanks to all of you who participated in the food drives. In the past few days, we have received food from the Kinettes, Waskatenau's Holy Family Catholic School, and the Vilna Christmas market. Smoky Lake Food Bank Volunteers and clients greatly appreciate your contributions.

Recently, the Smoky Lake Food Bank was blessed with a large donation from RMA (Rural Municipalities of Alberta) Insurance, a company that insured many non-profit organizations in this region. In the photo are local food bank chair, Noreen Easterbrook with Terra Matter and Kevin Wirsta, who drove in to give us a cheque for $7,500. That will feed our community's families for a few months. Grateful.

The past year has seen unprecedented demand at the Smoky Lake Food Bank. Items in high demand that we find challenging to keep supplied are listed below. If you have extra to share, please drop off any donations of these or other nonperishable food items off at the County Office! Thank you! 🙏

I have been remiss in my busyness to thank you. Everyday people from our community of Smoky Lake add food to the drop off locations. Additionally, Anderson's Supermarket had put together convenient bags of food that customers could donate and we enddd up with over 300 lbs; then Bigway ran a campaign where customers could donate $10 to the food bank reaulting in $700. Toward the end of the year, individuals and organizations run food drives and send funds such as the Annual Warspite Dart Tournament, Agraterra of Waskatenau, HAK School, SL First Baptist Church, Waskatenau and Smoky Lake Lions clubs. Thank you everyone for supporting your local food bank.

Holy Family Catholic School in Waskatenau held a food drive all through October. Students also went to houses on hallowe'en to scare hunger away. Thanks to everyone who contributed. You can see Kyle Thomsette bringing it in, and all that donted food filled the mostly empty shelves.
