The Strathcona Food Bank is a non-profit organization providing food to families in need in Sherwood Park and rural Strathcona County since 1983
The Strathcona Food Bank is a charitable not-for-profit organization operated by volunteers and a volunteer Board of Directors. We rely on donations to provide food assistance to those in need in Sherwood Park and rural Strathcona County. For financial donations of $25 or more we can issue a charitable tax receipt on request. We can also issue a tax receipt for donated items if a receipt is provided showing the cost of the items and the cost is $25 or greater.
Food insecurity is an unfortunate reality for many people in our community. We believe that everyone in Strathcona County should have access to healthy food, and we strive to meet every demand.
We are continually amazed by the generosity of so many who donate to the Strathcona Food Bank! It is in this space that we attempt to thank the individuals and organizations that contribute their time, food donations and/or financial donations. If we have missed you, our apologies. And for those who have donated anonymously please know that your donations are very much appreciated!
