How do we make a dent in food insecurity in Edmonton?
How do we help our neighbours and our communities?
One Bite at a Time!
SSUC is sponsoring a September Food and Donation Drive to benefit Edmonton’s Food Bank. A little of your extras make a big impact. Any donations, large or small, are appreciated. Grab an extra can off your pantry shelf on the way to a Sunday gathering, or any event you are attending at SSUC. Pick up a couple of extra sale items during your shopping. Set aside nonperishables throughout the week that you just never seem to eat.
The Food Donation Box is in the SSUC lobby ready to accept your donations of non-perishable foods and items. Most needed items include canned meat and fish, beans, cereals, baby formula, diapers, pasta, canned fruits and vegetables.
If you prefer to donate cash or cheques, see Steve Bailey any Sunday in September, and he will make a donation to Edmonton’s Food Bank on behalf of SSUC at the end of the month. Donations may also be made directly to Edmonton’s Food Bank online at https://www.edmontonsfoodbank.com/donate-now/ (please let Steve know so he can add it into the total being donated from SSUC).
Thank you for your donations and generosity. Donations will be accepted September 1 – September 30. Please contact Steve Bailey, Food Bank Depot Coordinator, at ssbailey1708@gmail.com with any questions.
