This June, Help Us Raise More Money!

"The Great Canadian Giving Challenge" Starts June 1st!

What is the challenge?

The Great Canadian Giving Challenge is a month-long contest we are taking part in to help us raise more cash donations as summer kicks off in June. And, we’ll have the chance to win a major prize donation from CanadaHelps!

How It Works

Every dollar donated to the Red Deer Food Bank in June, via the Red Deer Foodbank Giving Challenge is an entry for us with a chance to win $20,000. Using CanadaHelps for your financial contribution to the Food Bank this month automatically enters us to win with nothing else required.

Statistics Canada data suggests that 1 in 5 Albertans were Food insecure in 2022. Alberta was at the top of Canada's list of provinces for food insecurity. Residents in Red Deer experienced great difficulty. Many households were feeling stressed trying to put food on the table. Some were forced to reduce the quality and quantity of food they could buy. Other homes could not stretch and needed additional assistance. The Red Deer Food Bank faced incredible demand and continues to do so.

We have a fundraising goal of $5000 for June and we have the opportunity to do even better as each donation, even as little as $3*, will enter us for the chance to win the $20,000!

Although food donations are always needed, donating money in June will give the food bank more opportunities to increase funding to buy strategically and that’s a win for the whole community.

The Red Deer Food Bank invites you to "join the challenge" and support them in easing food insecurity this June!
