Holiday Donations
There is no charge to attend Community Christmas but, for anyone looking to donate to the Food Bank, Christmas Bureau or Town of Penhold Assistance Programs, we will have a donation bin available at Community Christmas.
Food Bank Donating Tips
- Pasta (canned or dry)
- Pasta sauces
- Bathroom tissue
- Diapers
- Canned goods (beans, soups, stews, etc)
- Personal hygiene products
- Canned vegetables and fruit
- Canned meats and fish
- Cereals (hot and cold)
- Infant foods and baby formula
- Meat alternatives (peanut butter, soy, assorted nuts)
When possible, choose unbreakable containers as glass jars don’t always survive transport.
The donation bin is available in the Town Office year round during regular business hours. Donations are sent to either the Red Deer Food Bank or Innisfail Food Bank, and Red Deer Christmas Bureau because those are the groups providing service to Penhold residents.
