Events

Over the past 10 years, the Rotary Club of Red Deer has worked with multiple partners to implement quality literacy improvement projects in Belize.  The projects include a variety of professional development symposiums for educators as well as literacy camps for children.  The success of the project is highly dependent on the relationships with local citizens, schools, rotary clubs and government.

As you are aware, Duart and his family have supported and assisted John Kbanga and his family to settle in Canada. Our club has also been supporting them this past year. It is with enormous pleasure that I can tell you that John and his family have qualified for a Habitat for Humanity home in Carter Place. I have scheduled an event for 10 volunteers at Carter Place, and all of our hours will go towards the 500 hours that John and his family need.

Date: Saturday September 14
Time: 8:00 am to 4:30 pm
Address: 23 Avenue and 24 Street

If you would like to volunteer please let me know and I will send you more information. As there are only 10 spots I will take on a first come first served basis.

Cheers,

Annie

This is our most popular volunteer event. It is a great way to help the Food Bank. We will either be building hampers or sorting donated food:

Hamper Makers complete the food hampers by adding additional perishable and non-perishable food to the “Starter Kit”. At this time, special attention is paid to dietary requests as well requests for special items such as toiletries or dish soap based on availability. The volume of hampers must be recorded and hampers must be accurately labelled for delivery to the client and/or food depot. 

In 2018, over 4 million kilograms of food was donated to or gleaned by Edmonton's Food Bank. Sorters are responsible for going through all non-perishable donations and checking the condition of the packaging and the best before dates. Once the food is checked, it is organized and stored appropriately to be brought to the hamper line or agency row.

Date: Tuesday October 29
Time: 6:00 to 8:00 pm
Address: 11508 - 120 Street
Volunteers Needed: 20

Let me know if you would like to volunteer.

Cheers,

Annie
