EDLC Holiday Food Bank Shift
5:00 PM - 8:00 PM MST Edmonton Food Bank 11508 120 St NW Edmonton, AB T5G 2Y2
The EDLC does it’s best to help out in our community but while we are working towards creating a society that doesn’t need food banks, we can also lend a hand in making sure workers make ends meet in the meantime.
Events like this also help us to build relationships between our members across the labour movement. Please consider spending an evening with the EDLC executive as we volunteer at our local food bank to help Edmontonians during this very difficult holiday season.
Please aim to be here for your shift 10 minutes early as we start promptly on the hour with an orientation in our training room of approximately 30 minutes, followed by work on the warehouse floor. The Festive Campaign begins November 18th and runs until January 10th 2025. This year they need to raise 300,000 kilograms of food and $4.5 million dollars.
To help start off our campaign we encourage all volunteers to bring along a can or other item to their shift. Food donations will be weighed and we can let you know the same day the size of your contribution.
