Having a job no longer guarantees food security.
There was a time when one income could support a family, young adults could afford rent on their first paycheck, and hard work created stability.
That reality is changing.

[Red Deer Food Bank @ReddeerFoodbank]

And 40% of people experiencing food insecurity are children.
Food insecurity can happen to anyone.
Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Central Alberta where everyone has access to the food and essentials they need.

2026 has been a heck of a year so far.
Through it all, our volunteers have been troopers. 1/3

They've stood with us through renovations and the many changes that means. Through new faces and spaces. Through different protocols and practices. Through all the Jenga towers in the warehouse, drywall and sawdust, and logjams in the parking lot. 2/3

This article from Canadian Dimension raises many concerns about Edmonton's unhoused situation. Could what happened in Edmonton happen here in Red Deer? [4/4]

Some sad statistics:
👉🏼70 per cent of food bank users are renters.
👉🏼75 per cent of Canadian renters sacrifice basic needs such as food, clothing, living essentials, and education to afford a place to live. 🧵👇🏼 [1/4]

This will undoubtedly cause the possibility of homelessness to loom over even more in our country.
The Food Bank can fill a gap if people are stretched beyond their means.
Everyone needs a little help now and then. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need support. [3/4]
