Three Year Anniversary of Brentwood’s Little Free Food Library!
Join us on April 23 from noon to 2:00 pm to celebrate our community.
Potluck and donations for the Brentwood Free Food Library.
Dear Brentwood Neighbours,
April 2020 is the date that the Free Food Library opened amidst the uncertainty, social isolation, and economic challenges that were exacerbated by the pandemic.
It has been three years now, and our community has been steadfast in providing ongoing barrier-free mutual aid to our neighbours. The motto for the Food Library has become: Give, Take, Trade, Care, which quite aptly represents the exchanges and relationships that have been fostered through the presence of the Food Library and all the other acts of kindness and community care in Brentwood.
The Brentwood Cares team is so proud that our community has been recognized for our compassion, which has extended beyond our boundaries to reach out to neighbours both locally and globally including our support for Migrant Workers and Girls’ Education in Pakistan.
Let’s meet on Liza and Arya’s lawn (3624 Boulton Rd NW – home of the Food Library) on April 23, anytime from noon to 2:00 pm, to celebrate our community with a potluck and some cheer. If you have bottles to donate, we will take them for the school project. Everyone is welcome!
Please RSVP to Liza at [email protected] if you plan to attend. Include Little Food Library Potluck in the subject.
Little Food Library (3624 Boulton Rd NW)
Thanks for the tremendous support this winter. Demand continues to grow and many times throughout the day the box is empty. We are still experiencing some days of below freezing temperatures, so stable goods (like nuts, peanut butter, fish in oil, rice/pasta, cereal, and dried fruit) are helpful to have. But canned goods are warmly welcome again.
Donations of cash or gift cards are always welcome, please use the mailbox and ring the bell or text 403-606-6949 so it gets picked up.
Food Bank Hamper Drivers
More drivers are always welcome! Soon enough it will be summer, and with vacations, any extra drivers will be greatly appreciated. Have an hour or so free on a Tuesday to Thursday in the morning? Please email [email protected] for more details.
