15th Annual Food Drive **cancelled/deferred**

2/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Apr 2020 Magrath - We are unable to hold our traditional community food drive this year due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Instead we urge any who can to donate cash directly to the organization or church of your choice to support those in need at this time. Traditionally we have sent your donations to the Lethbridge Food Bank and a portion to the local school lunch program. Hopefully we will be able to restart this project next Apr 2021.

  • or another worthy cause of your choice
See you next year!

Food Drive 2016 Results

PictureLethbridge Food Bank Apr 2016
Thank you Magrath!

Preliminary results look great - great weather - lots of helpers - and at least as many donations this year as last year. 5,300 on Sat and est 250 more the week following = 5,550 lbs valued at $11,100 this year. 

Apparently: "Magrath Alberta ROCKS!!! The total weight [on Saturday] was 5,300 pounds I [per Director at Lethbridge Food Bank, she] has attached pictures for you of all the food that was brought in! Thank you so much for all you do to help support the Lethbridge Food Bank"

The helpers at the Lethbridge Food Bank were surprised and so appreciative. It took us all morning to collect and place everything into the (Custom Windows) truck and only twenty five minutes to unload it there into over a dozen large bins.

If anyone was missed, we apologize. We will be taking in a catch up load later this next week for anything else that was to be donated. Bring it to the Pharmacy please!

​Lion Roger 

Magrath/Lethbridge Food Bank - Apr 2016 - So many helpers - too many to number .. but here are a few photos:

Notice: change of arrival time in Lethbridge at the Food Bank planned (will now be 2:30pm Sat 23 Apr)

Due to many other events (funerals/baptisms and all that) going on that same day, we have decided to make a slight delay in the delivery of the truck to accommodate everyone's schedule:

We will load the truck as usual that morning from 9-11ish at Seniors Parking Lot
- Fletcher Funeral is 11am at MSC
- Davies have a family event 11am in Lethbridge at Forestry Ave
- Cal Heggie of Custom Windows will drive the loaded truck from Magrath to Lethbridge about 2pm
so at 2:30pm we will need our crew to help unload the truck at Lethbridge​ Food Bank

Thanks to all and see you all there!

Thanks to everyone who helped make this years 9th annual food collection drive (Apr 2014) so successful (despite the lovely weather)! You donated over 4600 lbs of food - valued well over $9200 this year! We still have one more load to take in to the Lethbridge Food Bank from homes that were somehow missed or donated later. This project would not be possible without your individual donations, and the generous donation of time from the local church youth groups, the drivers of the kids and the trailers (from the Heggies of Custom Windows, and Mr Hoy and Mr Nelson for the 2nd truck and trailer). Congratulations to all! The Lethbridge Food Bank was most appreciative.
