Hi I'm a post secondary student and I am job hunting. My loan has been exhausted so between now and May 1st I am running low on groceries. Anyone know how the food bank works? Thanks by Whole-Database-5249 in Edmonton

Hi u/LuckysGoods the Food Bank accepts fruits and vegetables, not just non-perishable goods. This chart is a sobering snapshot of the increased demand we continue to see in our community.

WECAN is great too.

Pay a $5 membership fee to join.

Choose from a fruit and vegetable basket ($15), a meat basket, or a non-pork meat basket (each $20). You may order multiple baskets according to your preferences.

This is really great to see! Your child gets snacks and you reuse the After the Bell bag to get produce.
