Starting on Monday, October 17, 2022 we will be collecting food/non-perishable items for the Veteran’s Food Drive. There will be boxes set up at the front and back door for food drop off. At Dalhousie School, we want to support Calgarians who are less fortunate than us, and one way we are doing this is through the Veteran’s Food Drive. This drive will run until after Remembrance Day. Items that the food bank is urgent need of are the following:

• Kleenex – tissue boxes
• Napkins
• Paper towel
• 1 litre juice cartons
• Juice boxes for lunches
• Cereal
• Coffee and coffee pods
• Pancake mix
• Laundry soap
• Granola bars
• Ziploc bags (medium and large)
• Fabric softener
• Rice packages
• Cookies
• Canned chili / stew
• Mayonnaise
• $25.00 grocery gift cards

Thank you for your support of this worthy cause.
