For 34 years, the Wood Buffalo community has come together to help ensure no one has to face hunger alone. Join us for the 34th Annual Syncrude Fall Food Drive, one of our largest fundraising and food collection events of the year!

Throughout the weekend, you’ll find Wood Buffalo Food Bank staff and volunteers at participating grocery stores across the region collecting non-perishable food donations, cash donations, and grocery gift cards to help stock our shelves for the busy winter season.

Whether you donate food, make a financial contribution, volunteer your time, or simply help spread the word, every act of generosity helps provide safe and nutritious food to local individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

Volunteers are the heart of this event. Join our team and help make this year’s food drive a success by:

  • Welcoming shoppers and sharing our most-needed food items list
  • Handing out donation bags
  • Accepting and organizing donations
  • Helping raise awareness about food insecurity in our community
  • Creating a positive and welcoming experience for everyone who stops by

This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, families, community groups, sports teams, schools, and workplaces to make a meaningful impact together.

Every donation stays right here in Wood Buffalo, helping us provide food and hope to our neighbours when they need it most.

Together, let’s make the 34th Annual Syncrude Fall Food Drive our biggest and most successful yet!
