Serving Hope Every Thursday: Inside Our Weekly Food Distribution Service
At the core of our weekly outreach is the Thursday Food Distribution—a practical, community-focused program that provides free groceries to anyone in need. Thanks to generous donations from our local supermarket partners, Prakash No Frills and Walmart on 88 Ave!
More Than a Box of Food
If you need food, you are welcome here! It’s all part of our mission to fight food insecurity and offer dignity, kindness, and hope to our neighbors. Every Thursday, we open our doors to distribute free groceries, including fresh produce, baked goods, pantry items, and other essentials, collected from our partnered supermarkets. These groceries are rescued, and then sorted and packed by our team of staff and volunteers, and then handed out to anyone who needs a bit of extra support.
The impact reaches far beyond just a box of food. For many who come, these weekly visits are a source of connection and encouragement—a reminder that someone sees them and cares. Our team is always on hand with a smile, a chat, and information about additional support services available through The Salvation Army.

Some volunteers have been faithfully serving for years, and some have joined us only recently. Together, they make this ministry possible. Stay tuned for some seasonal updates soon!
A Season of Gratitude and Giving
As we approach Thanksgiving, we are reminded of the importance of sharing our blessings with others. While many families will gather around tables filled with food, some in our community continue to face hunger and uncertainty. Through our Food Distribution service, we are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy a nourishing meal and experience the spirit of gratitude and togetherness this season brings.
