Veterans Food Bank Drive

In honour of Remembrance Day, we at Dalhousie School are launching our annual Veterans Food Bank drive in support of the Veterans Food Bank of Alberta. We will be collecting items from October 28 to November 7, 2024.

We have collection boxes set up in the front foyer as well as the back entrance. If you can help, please refer to the list of items the food bank has on their list of urgently needed items. If you would rather contribute a food Gift Card, please drop those off at the main office and we will pass them along on collection day. Please do not bring perishable items on the list as the boxes will not be collected until our drive is complete.

Visit the Veteran Food Bank of Alberta for needed item lists.
