Magrath, AB May 2022 - A big thank you to everyone for your support of our annual food drive. 1500 flyers were sent out the week ending 6 May. Despite some conflicts with other events, this year our volunteers collected 4400 lbs of food that was delivered to Lethbridge Food Bank by 1pm on Sat 7 May 2022! Some of you were missed in the pickup process and so we apologize. If you still wish to donate, we will be collecting donations at the Magrath Pharmacy one more week until Fri 13 May 2022. Just drop it by or call us to arrange pickup. Lion Roger Davies 403-388-4332

The links below are to current year flyers and handouts in PDF format:  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.
