The second annual CochraneNow Fall Food Drive was once again a success.

Eric Ruttle and Lauren Meister broadcast LIVE in front of Save-On-Foods on Wednesday in an effort to collect donations for the Cochrane Activettes Food Bank. 

Just like in 2020 we were able to drop off a truck load of donations to the food bank as well as hundreds of dollars in cash and gift cards. 

Food donations

The need at the food bank is continually on the rise. Over 3300 people accessed food from the food bank in 2020.

Some of the items currently in high demand include Kleenex, paper towel, rice, granola bars and juice boxes. 

The Cochrane Activettes are gearing up for the annual Share Your Christmas campaign. Thanks to the generosity from the community, they were able to help 298 families in 2020. 

If you missed out on seeing us at the food drive today but still want to help make Thanksgiving special for a Cochrane area family, you can donate online.
