The Leduc & District Food Bank is a community-driven and supported organization that relies on community donations and volunteer support to provide short-term assistance to an approximate population of 85,000 people. We support Leduc, Beaumont, Calmar, Devon, Leduc County, Thorsby, and Warburg.
The Food Bank was created so that those in the community/region in need have relief of food insecurity, and we work alongside other helping agencies and help fill a gap when needed.
Our mission is to empower our community to aid those in need of food support through strategic collaborations, educational programs, and redistribution of food and goods.
