The Bulk Food Purchase Subsidy Program provides a reimbursement for costs incurred by food banks to purchase higher demand non-perishable staples (canned fruit, meat, fish and vegetables, soup, beans, baby food, pasta) or perishable food items (dairy, eggs, protein, fresh produce, frozen products). This fund supports current Alberta Food Banks members. This program is made possible by a generous contribution by CAF America and funds from 7-Eleven.
Alberta Food Banks will contribute funds to eligible food banks to increase their purchasing power of food items.
