THE PARKLAND FOOD BANK CORPORATE FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE STARTS AUGUST 1!

The Parkland Food Bank Corporate Food Drive Challenge officially kicks off on August 1st, and we could not be more excited to partner with 26 incredible local businesses across Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Parkland County to help fight hunger in our community.

Corporate Food Drive Challenge – Registration Now Open!

Registration for the 2026 Corporate Food Drive Challenge is now open! Parkland Food Bank is inviting businesses across the Tri‑Area Region to participate in this year’s Challenge, running from August 1 to 31. This friendly competition offers a fun and meaningful way for local teams to support families facing food insecurity while strengthening community spirit.

Last year, the Corporate Food Drive Challenge saw incredible support from 24 local businesses. Together, they raised nearly 9,000 lbs of non‑perishable food for individuals and families in need. Because of this success, we are aiming for an even greater impact in 2026. Your business can play an important role in helping us reach that goal.

As part of the Challenge, participating businesses will be paired with a local counterpart and assigned a specific food item to collect throughout the month. Each business will compete to gather as much of their assigned item as possible. The organization with the highest total collection, measured in kilograms, will earn:

• Parkland Food Bank Corporate Food Drive Challenge Prize Ribbon
• Braggin Rights
• A Photo Opportunity at the Food Bank
• Recognition on our website and social media channels

💛 A MATCH THAT DOUBLES YOUR IMPACT TODAY 💛

Parkland Food Bank Tri-Region Hunger Day Presented by North American Construction Group is built on community coming together, and this year, one generous community member who wishes to remain anonymous has stepped forward with an incredible pledge:

🎯 The first $10,000 in donations will be MATCHED dollar for dollar

💻 TO DONATE PLEASE CLICK HERE

That means every early gift today goes twice as far in supporting families across Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, and Parkland County. It is one of the most powerful ways to give, because your impact is instantly doubled.

Tri-Region Hunger Day brings our region together in a shared effort to support local families experiencing food insecurity. While the need continues to grow, so does the strength of our community response.

With the support of local grocery stores, sponsors, and volunteers, this day turns compassion into real, measurable action.

🎯 Our 2026 Goal:
$60,000 raised and 20,000 lbs of non-perishable food collected

Every dollar and every donation helps fill shelves, but more importantly, it helps restore dignity, stability, and hope for families who need it most.

Today is more than a fundraiser. It is a reminder that when we come together, we can make a real difference right here at home.

💛 Thank you for being part of it.
