The Cochrane Activettes Food Bank packed 300 hampers full of food this holiday season. The Share Your Christmas hampers will be delivered to families in need around Cochrane and area. This is the first holiday with the new extension that doubled the food bank size.

Food Bank Chair Kathy Tucker says that the new extension helped them serve even more people this year. “ Having our Share Your Christmas program in the past, we were not able to house everything in our facility here at the food bank for Share Your Christmas. We had to rent a bay to house them. Now with us doubling our space, we are able to house things here and hold them here.”

“We will be expecting to do around 300 hampers this year for our Share Your Christmas Program, that is equivalent to somewhere in the neighbourhood of about 3400 people”

The Share Your Christmas hampers will be delivered soon to many deserving families in the Cochrane area.
