As the festive season approaches, the Chestermere Food Bank welcomes additional support from individuals and businesses. Donations of non-perishable food items, monetary contributions, and volunteer time are all greatly appreciated.
“Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us provide for those in need,” emphasized Oel. “We encourage anyone who can to get involved and help make this holiday season brighter for all members of our community.”

The partnership between the Strathmore Elks Lodge #491 and the Chestermere Food Bank highlights the positive impact that community organizations can have when they collaborate. Their combined efforts ensure that more families in Chestermere and the surrounding areas will have access to essential resources during the holidays.
“The holiday season is a time for coming together,” added the Elks’ representative. “We are proud to do our part and hope to inspire others to join us in supporting our community.”
The Strathmore Elks’ donation arrives at a crucial time, reinforcing the importance of community solidarity. As Chestermere prepares for the holiday rush, gestures of kindness like this serve as a reminder of the shared responsibility to care for one another.
