Magrath 2024 - Thank you for all your generous support in years past with our annual community food drive. WIthout the service provided from the town and local churches, these drives would unlikely be very successful. This upcoming 2024 event will be our 19th! In 2024, after consulting with local helpers, we have set the date for this food drive to the week ending Sat 2024 Apr 20th - often still cold weather, but after last Dec, who knows?

Magrath, AB 29 Apr 2023 - Another great big thank you to everyone for supporting our 18th annual food drive. 1500 flyers were sent out this past week and this year our volunteers collected 4731 lbs of food valued at $15,186!  We rented a 20ft U-Haul this year and filled it about 3/4 full. Saturday donations were delivered to Lethbridge Food Bank by 1pm on Sat 29 Apr 2023! AND to the guy in charge of the weather today - Great Job!
So sorry, however, that some of  you were missed in the pickup process on Saturday. If you still wish to donate, we will be collecting donations at the white van parked in front of the Magrath Pharmacy. We are also starting our Lions Garage Sale Collections at same location throughout the month of May 2023. Just drop it by or call us to arrange a pickup. Thanks again! Lion Roger Davies 403-388-4332

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.

Many thanks to all the helpers on the 2018 (13th annual) community food drive! We ended up with mild sun burns and a total 4350 lbs of food delivered this year valued at $10,850! WOW

​Did we miss you? Oops, we are so sorry! CATCH UP FOOD DRIVE WEEK
We note that some were away or their pickup bag was missed on the Sat morning pickups. If that is you, we are continuing our collection this week .. just bring your donation bag to the Magrath Pharmacy where our White Collection Van will be parked all this week .. i.e. (until Sat 5 May 2018). We will take them into the Lethbridge Food Bank at the end of that week! Many thanks again!!!

The Magrath Lions and our oh so many wonderful volunteers ..
