The Veteran’s Association Foodbank of Grande Prairie is inviting residents to join them in their grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The event is scheduled to run from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on August 30th, complete with face painting, prizes, cake, a barbecue for attendees to enjoy, and a ribbon cutting to commemorate 16 months of operations in Grande Prairie.
The Veteran’s Association Foodbank focuses on a “veterans helping veterans” approach and took a moment to recognize the hard work of their volunteers and community members who have helped the foodbank cement itself as a community resource for local veterans and their families.
“Let’s celebrate our grand opening together and give thanks to our wonderful veterans continuing to care for our local veterans in need,” the foodbank says.
The event is free to attend, but attendees are encouraged to pre-register to ensure adequate resources are allocated to address catering and capacity needs before the grand opening.
