Food Programs
Current Programs
1. Family Food Hamper Delivery Program
We collect pre-packaged donated food items, make hampers and deliver them to families across Edmonton 2-4 times per month. We place an emphasis on vulnerable households with multiple children. Our work is supported through private donations, grocery chain partnerships, and public drives.
2. Inner City Feeding Partnership Program
We prioritize cooperation over competition. We work to strengthen charities with similar goals through our collaborative network of organizations and volunteers.
Our largest partnership is with a long-standing Edmonton inner-city charity. Through this collaboration, members of C.C.C help serve weekly breakfasts to vulnerable community members. We also host and participate in a wide variety of events that connect outreach volunteers, fostering relationships with organizations that share the same values as our team.
Our work thrives on partnership and a shared commitment to help Canadians meet their most basic needs for survival.
Upcoming Programs
1. Food Mobility Programs
Food insecurity in Edmonton is increasing, and traditional resources are struggling to meet the needs. In response, we are developing two mobile food support initiatives to fill critical gaps.
Mobile Soup Kitchen
We will adapt the traditional soup kitchen model into a fully mobile unit, preparing and serving hot meals directly in areas with high concentrations of unhoused individuals, as well as responding to emergencies such as wildfires and other crises. Mobility ensures we can reach people where they are.
Mobile Food Bank
We are establishing a centralized, fully licensed facility for food storage, preparation, and hamper assembly. These hampers will be distributed through scheduled deliveries to families facing access barriers and deployed into high-need areas via a mobile truck — functioning as a mobile food bank.
The project is progressing through budgeting, fundraising, operational setup, and launch. With committed food suppliers and trained volunteers already in place, we remain on schedule to have the first mobile food initiative operational before December 2026.
How You Can Help
Donate
Food or finances. Whether it’s a couple cans of beans or a couple extra dollars, your support keeps meals moving and crisis responses fast. Contact us below!
Volunteer
Don’t have anything to donate? No problem! Hampers don’t pack themselves (we asked). A few hours of your time can change someone’s day—and maybe even their life.
No previous volunteer experience required. Just heart and a touch of punctuality. Contact us below!
