About Veterans Association Food Bank

Since August 2018, The Veterans Association Food Bank has worked to create a support system for the Veteran community, advocating for Veterans’ rights and assisting Canadian military families. You matter each and every time you walk through the door.

Marie Blackburn brought the Veterans Association Food Bank to life. She is a Veteran family member and saw the loss felt by the Veterans she had come to know throughout her time working alongside other Veterans. Her driving force is to remove the risk of hunger, homelessness, and isolation Veterans face without a dedicated system in place to help. She continues to be determined to fill the void and be the voice of The Veteran Association Food Bank.

The Veteran Association is more than a Food Bank. It is a safe place. The Veterans Helping Veterans initiative is a program developed to connect to what is needed by Veterans and their families. It’s an ongoing program that is growing and evolving as The Veterans Association Food Bank does.

Currently, The Veterans Association Food Bank serves Veterans in Calgary, Lethbridge, Edmonton, and Grande Prairie. We are growing our programs and reaching out to more Veterans than we thought possible. The work is never done, and we will never give up.
