There are many ways to run a successful food drive or fundraising event. Our handout provides a simple steps and checklists to help you out.

Community Spirit Grant
The Airdrie Food Bank receives the Community Spirit Grant - a provincial program that is donor-driven. The grant recognizes and encourages Albertans to support their favourite charitable organizations by basing the amount given on the total annual cash donations the charity receives over a 12-month period. The more our community donates, the bigger our grant to a $50,000 maximum over 3 years. More info.
