Breakfast/snack hampers are now available from the Chestermere Food Bank on a weekly basis to all Chestermere and surrounding area residents with children. These hampers will be distributed by appointment only, due to the food bank's commitment to social distancing and privacy.
Please visit the food bank's website and complete the "self-referral". Under "Special Requests", let the food bank know if you'd like a permanent weekly appointment and that will be set up for you. You will not have to fill in the referral each week.
Appointments are being made Mondays and Thursdays between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Should there be a need for more appointment times, the food bank may extend pick-up days to Tuesdays and/or Fridays.
Included in the breakfast/snack hamper will usually be:
- Cereal
- Canned fruit
- Juice
- Bread
- Kraft Dinner
- Dry Soup
- Cheese/crackers
- Granola Bars
- Pudding/Jell-O
- Canned meat (chicken/tuna)
- Canned pasta
Depending on the size of the family and regularity of your visits, also included with the hamper will be peanut butter, pancake mix, syrup and COBS Bread treats.
If you would like bread/buns only, please indicate that on the self-referral and let the food bank know your bread preference (white, whole wheat, seedless etc.).
Delivery may be available upon request.
Many thanks to Rocky View Schools, COBS Bread and many other sponsors for making these programs possible.
