Volunteering for Edmonton's Food Bank
This past weekend we volunteered at the Heritage Festival, taking donations for the Edmonton Food Bank. It was nice to have an opportunity to volunteer as a family activity and the people at the food bank are wonderful to be around.
Volunteering has always been a way for me to ensure I can have a positive impact on my community. Even a couple of hours once in a while can make a difference to a local organization and leave you feeling accomplished and needed.
If you don't have an organization that you normally support then I urge you to call 311 in Edmonton to find some opportunities to get out and make a difference.

Good for you. I help organize our local Meals for Wheels and we are always looking for volunteers once a month for a few hours. A lot of our volunteers are getting older and we need more spares!
