Support Strathcona Food Bank during our annual food drive

Annual food drive frequently asked questions and information 

The holiday season is approaching, and Sherwood Ford is excited to announce our annual food drive! We’re partnering with Sherwood Powersports & Marine, OilersNation, and Lakeland Ridge Community School to collect donations for families in need around Strathcona County. Today, we’re asking you to support Strathcona Food Bank during our annual food drive. Scroll down for annual food drive frequently asked questions and information. 



Where can you donate non-perishable food items? 

You can drop off your non-perishable food donations at the following locations: 

Donations will be accepted until Monday, November 5th, so make sure to stop by with your contributions! 


What does the Strathcona Food Bank need? 

The Strathcona Food Bank is asking for a variety of store-bought, unopened, non-perishables. Some of the items in high demand include: 

  • Canned fruit and fruit snack cups (no sugar added) 
  • Fruit juice (no sugar added) 
  • Ready-to-serve soup, chili, or stew 
  • Boxed macaroni and cheese 
  • Canned mushrooms and mixed vegetables 

These items will go a long way in helping local families, so please consider adding them to your shopping list and dropping them off at one of the donation locations. 


When will the donations be delivered to the food bank? 

All donations will be delivered to the Strathcona Food Bank on November 6th. We’ll be meeting at Lakeland Ridge Community School at 11:30 a.m. to load up the donations and deliver them to families in need. 



Special thanks to Lakeland Ridge Community School 

This food drive wouldn’t be possible without the support and efforts of the students from Lakeland Ridge Community School in Sherwood Park. They’re doing an incredible job collecting donations at the school, and their participation is a big part of what makes this event so successful. 

To show our appreciation for the hard work of Lakeland Ridge students, we’re offering some amazing prizes! These include: 

  • A pair of Edmonton Oilers game tickets 
  • A swag bag from Sherwood Powersports & Marine 
  • Prizes provided by OilersNation 

Join us in the fight against hunger! 

We’re so proud to be working alongside our community partners in this year’s food drive. Together, we can make a huge difference for families in need in Strathcona County. Let’s come together to support the Strathcona Food Bank and help fight hunger in our community. Drop off your donations at Sherwood Ford or any of the other participating locations, and let’s make this year’s food drive the best one yet!
