[ARCHIVED] Fight Back Against Hunger

Food Drive

The Emergency Services Food Drive is the Food Bank’s largest annual initiative to raise food donations and bring awareness to hunger within our community. For one night only, on, Tuesday, September 12, 2017, Emergency Service crews will team up with local groups and take to the streets to fight back against hunger. This door-to-door campaign will serve to nourish vulnerable families and seniors throughout the year with a collection of non-perishable foods donated by our community citizens. Each year, 25% of food for the entire year is raised during this important Food Drive.

Community Connections’ Food Bank provides food for over 279 local households each year – 30% of recipients are children. Food insecurity is a hard reality for many in Revelstoke as we see a rising number of families and seniors in need of food resources. Our food bank relies solely on funding and donations to feed our vulnerable citizens- and we can’t do it without our community.

Diet-related illness in the general population is on the rise and is especially the case in lower-income populations who frequent food banks. In order to prioritize healthy offerings, our Food Bank has made a “wish list” for food items that are listed below. As always, monetary donations are welcomed and will be used to purchase healthy, perishable foods such as fresh vegetables and fruit.

If you will be away during the event or have missed a pickup, please drop off food donations at Save- On Foods in our donation bin or at our main office (314- Second St East) Monday to Friday during office hours.

In addition to the door-to-door campaign, Save-On Foods & Southside Market accepts $2 donations at their tills- ask a cashier to add it to your grocery bill to help the cause.

Listen for the sirens, raid your cupboards, and give food to help feed those in need!
