Community-based Food Security Initiatives

As an alternative to grocery stores, food security initiatives like Khair For All provide food boxes for donation to another community member, to pick up at a designated depot, or be delivered directly to your home for a small fee. Food boxes are available in a small size for $25 and a large size for $50. The cost of the grocery boxes is 20-30 per cent less than grocery stores like Superstore. In the Edmonton diocese, every Wednesday the Manna Market offers grocery bags for $5 at All Saints' Cathedral, while the Lodgepole Market offers bread and produce at St. Faith's.
