The Red Deer Food Bank and Red Deer Christmas Bureau will be at Parkland Mall on November 24, 25 & 26 to receive donations to make the holidays brighter for families in need in our community.

Saturday is going to be even more fun for families who want to swing by for the event. A face painter and balloon artist will be there between 12 and 4 pm Saturday afternoon - kids can get their faces painted for free with a donation to either the Food Bank or Christmas Bureau. Hearts of Harmony will be caroling at 3:15 - 3:45 as we wind down the event.

WHAT TO DONATE

We have our Wish List for our hampers and welcome all non-perishable food item donations. The Christmas Bureau is thrilled to receive gift items for all family members, especially children, youth, teens, and even parents.

We are also able to accept cash, cheques, credit card and debit card payments at the event.

Both the Food Bank and Christmas Bureau are extremely grateful to everyone who can find a way to contribute, especially this year with so many challenges we’ve been through and may yet face in the coming months.
