Tickets and more information is available at CamroseChaseTheAce.org. Our current Featured Charity is:
FEATURED CHARITY – FLAGSTAFF FOOD BANK
The Flagstaff Food Bank will receive 20% of ticket sales from this event to purchase food, hygiene products and supplies in short supply.
Community support has allowed the Flagstaff Food Bank to expand from its beginnings in 2002 to purchasing their current building in 2010 and hiring a coordinator to manage food and supplies while coordinating volunteers.
The Flagstaff Region of East Central Alberta encompasses over 4,000 square kilometres. Open 2 days a week, the Food Bank can provide up to 64 food hampers each month to a clientele that is about 40% working adults, 20% seniors and 40% children. The Christmas Sharing Program in conjunction with other community agencies generates up to 140 Christmas Hampers serving 350 Flagstaff individuals.
The Food Bank is proud of the ability of the community to give a leg up to individuals and families finding it tough to make ends meet.
Donations of shelving from the Real Canadian Superstore and Canadian Tire have been assembled and sport equipment is arriving for a planned August opening. City and county children and youth in need of equipment will be referred by community partners, including Kidsport Camrose, to receive equipment, at no cost. Kidsport Camrose also provides funding for registration in sports to further reduce barriers to participation.
