Thankful for Volunteers!

Rain or shine, we are incredibly grateful for our dedicated volunteers who consistently show up to support those in need at the food bank. Thanks to their unwavering commitment, like that of our amazing volunteer Linda, last week alone, the Battlefords District Food & Resource Centre provided food to over 800 individuals here in the Battlefords and neighbouring communities.

Thank you North Battleford Fire Department

A big shout-out to the North Battleford Fire Department for their incredible support in filling our Lasagna Garden water tank! Despite their busy schedule, they generously spared their time, turning what would have been a full-day task for us into just an hour of teamwork.
