We need summer volunteers!

Are you 16 years old or older?

Do you have 4 hours a week to help with a great cause?

Do you want to build your resume or get some work experience?

Then we can use you! Many of our volunteers like to take time off over the summer and we need a little help to keep operating while they do.

Volunteering for Parkland Food Bank isn’t for the weak of heart though. If you like a fast paced, physically active environment; we are the place for you!

Recycling bottles for the deposit began in Alberta in the early 1970s, and it has been a classic fundraiser in the years since then. Bottle drives have provided funds for schools sending their students on trips and have supported minor league teams across Spruce Grove and Stony Plain. And now, they offer a new opportunity to help the community at large.

SkipTheDepot is a new company that began in Calgary in 2018, and is working to make the process of recycling bottles and cans easier for everyone. Nobody likes standing in line at the bottle depot, and now SkipTheDepot will do that for you.

So where does Parkland Food Bank come in?

SkipTheDepot has partnered with dozens of Alberta charities so that you can donate your deposit instead, making it easier for you to support a mission near and dear to your heart. Parkland Food Bank is now one of those charities. When you schedule your pickup, simply specify that your deposit be directed to the Parkland Food Bank Society (our official name) and you’ll be helping us alleviate hunger today and prevent hunger tomorrow.
