The Chestermere Regional Food Bank Foundation has been in operation since September 2007 and is run by a group of dedicated volunteers. We serve the City of Chestermere and surrounding areas.
We ensure every interaction is based upon our four pillars of strength:
Compassion - We strive to provide service in a discreet and empathetic manner.
Integrity - Ensuring every interaction with clients is confidential, respectful, and professional.
Partnership - We are committed to enhancing our current relationships and working with our community to build new ones.
Equality - No matter where we come from or what we have, life events can impact us all. We are all equal in our need for food.
Love being behind the wheel? Volunteer as one of our drivers picking up food donations from community partners and delivering them to the Food Bank. Drivers also deliver Meals on Wheels orders and deliver Snack Attack packages to the schools.
Valid driver's license and car insurance required or ability to be insured to use the Food Bank Van.
All hands on deck! Casual volunteers help with food drives and special events. These energetic volunteers help behind-the-scenes at various events to raise awareness of food insecurity in our community. Although we have temporarily suspended all public events to comply with public health measures, you can still add your name to the list for when we can get out into out community.
We are currently looking to fill one vacancy on our Board of Directors.
Community Garden volunteers act as part of a team to plant, maintain, weed and harvest the Food Bank's 3 urban plots and 1 rural plot. This is a seasonal volunteer opportunity.
The Good Food Box makes top-quality, fresh food available in a way that does not stigmatize people, fosters community development, and promotes healthy eating. Volunteers monitor collection of Good Food Boxes once a month.
Clients drop in on Wednesday and Saturday mornings to choose from items that
are past their best-before date or that we have in excess – no questions asked.
