Community Pantry
Everyone deserves access to good food, and we're here to lend a hand.
About The Pantry
Our Community Pantry, inspected by Public Health, serves as a valuable resource for individuals in the Camrose area during times of need. It's important to note that while we aim to provide food and essential hygiene items, we are not a traditional food bank. Our mission is to offer supplemental assistance and support to our community members facing challenges.
Our pantry items are dependent on donations through Second Harvest, a food rescue organization that is working to keep food where it belongs, on plates and out of landfills.
