Join The 10,000 Club
10,000 people $5/month = A hunger-free Central Alberta.
Central Alberta has a population of 300,000 people.
If 10,000 of those people gave just $5 a month, no one in our community would go to bed hungry.
That’s the power of community.
The 10,000 Club is a movement of ordinary people choosing to make an extraordinary difference, one small monthly gift at a time.
Because when thousands of people show up together, meals reach families, shelves stay stocked, and hope keeps growing.
Your $5 may seem small, but together, we can make a big change in the lives of our neighbours.

SUPPORT RDFB
Ready to make a difference in your community?
Here’s how to get involved:
In our community, there is an abundance of food, but people still go hungry.
Last year, we supported more than 30,500 individuals with emergency food. That's 2,550 people every single month and 40% of them were children.
More than 1,000 kids, every month, are depending on our community to show up.
Demand has more than doubled since before COVID. With rising costs, tariffs, and economic pressure on families across Red Deer, we don't expect that to change.
Monthly giving is how we keep up. When you give automatically each month, we can plan ahead, keep shelves stocked, and be there every week, for every family that needs us. No gaps. No running out.
Choose your level and start today.
