Banff Summer Food Bank
Pilot Program
Banff Summer Food Bank
Many people in Banff face food challenges during the summer — even if they’re working. Rising food prices and unstable housing can make it hard to get the food you need.
That’s why the Bow Valley Food Alliance, Alberta Food Banks, and BanffLife have teamed up to offer a pilot Banff Summer Food Bank support program.
When: Mondays from July 21 to September 29, 4:30–6:00 p.m.
(Closed on holiday Mondays: August 4 and September 1)
