Cochranites came out in droves to the first annual CochraneNow Stampede Breakfast on Wednesday morning.
But it wasn't just the delicious pancakes and live music on their minds.
Residents made sure to bring donations for the Helping Hands Society Free Food Shed program.
April Baird, Food Security Programs Manager for the Helping Hands Society said they're grateful for the donations.
The donation bin overflowed multiple times and event goers brought cash too.
"Such a great haul of food - will make the Sheds very happy. And $316.50 in cash donations too!"
The Free Food Shed program is structured as a “take what you need and leave what you can” free food initiative. The sheds are open 24/7 to anyone at any time.
There are two Free Food Sheds in town:
-St. Andrew’s United Church 128 1 Street E.
-Bow Valley Baptist Church 54 W. Aarsby Rd.
