How to apply for the Food Bank

Requirements for Eligibility

To access food bank services, community members are asked to provide a certain amount of information which enables us to determine whether or not they are eligible to receive our services. This is a primarily income-based screening process; special circumstances are considered as well. To apply for client services (or renew your Client Card), individuals are required to provide the following identification and information:

  • Goverment Issued ID
  • Alberta Healthcare Card for you and any dependants in your household
  • Proof of Residence 
  • Proof of Income (Bank statements, AISH, EI, wages, pension)
