Ron and Marion of @gardenrootsmarket here in Cochr

Ron and Marion of @gardenrootsmarket here in Cochrane are running a fruit and produce truck in Cochrane on Thursday’s 10-6PM in the Cochrane Alliance Church parking lot.
This family run business has made it their mandate to help the food bank by donating to us any leftover fruit/produce that we want and can handle in our coolers.
This will be handed out to our clients weekly.
For the last 2 weeks we have received absolutely beautiful produce from them. The produce is only Alberta and BC grown products.
If you are someone who enjoys fresh produce and fruit in season, please support this great Cochrane family run business and also tell your friends and family to support them as well.
This is a HUGE help to our food bank and we couldn’t be happier. #activettes #cochrane

In addition to staples it is really nice to be able to include other items into our hampers like coffee and tea, honey, jam, pickles and salad dressings. We are also seeing requests for laundry and dish soap as well as personal care items like liquid hand soap. If you are looking to make a donation, any of these items would be greatly appreciated.
If you would like to help
- drop donations in food bank bins at the major grocery stores in town. - drop items in front of the Clothesline Store (5, 122 Fourth Ave W) Mon to Sat, 11am- 4pm
If you need a food hamper, call 403-851-2250.
Thank you Cochrane for your continued support!

Yesterday was meant to be the Helping Hands Spring

Yesterday was meant to be the Helping Hands Spring Food Drive, a bi-annual event we count on to keep the shelves at the Foodbank filled. In its place we have seen so many great initiatives that is bringing large amounts of food and cash donations. Cochrane is a such generous and innovative community creating so many great ways to collect donations from giving out theatre popcorn in exchange for food, collecting food during the First Responders neighbourhood parades, donating wine delivery fees, donations per services booked, creating and donating delicious prepared frozen meals, creating and selling Cochrane Strong stickers (to name just a few), not to mention individual food and cash donations. The food drive is happening, just in new ways.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Cochrane 💙

As the world works its way through the COVID-19 pa

As the world works its way through the COVID-19 pandemic, we would like to reiterate our commitment to supporting our community through these uncertain times. While the current risk is still low, we have instituted our Emergency Response plan to ensure we are positioned to adapt to any potential increased prevalence of COVID-19. The Cochrane Activettes are active in many aspects of the Cochrane and Area community with our two most visible projects being the Cochrane Food Bank and The Clothesline. The Cochrane Food Bank is still open and we are preparing hampers for this week’s recipients. We will be able to continue in a more limited capacity to provide hampers to those in need. We are extending our hamper programs to include anyone vulnerable or in desperate need of food at this time and no means to get it. Our normal hampers will be pared back to ones that are designed to last from 3 – 5 days. This should extend our ability to provide food for a longer period of time. Hampers will no longer be picked up at our facility but instead will be delivered by volunteer drivers from the community starting March 20, 2020. The driver will call upon arrival and leave the hamper outside the door. As many of you know there was a food drive scheduled for April 25 which had to be postponed so our shelves are not as full as we would like. Therefore donations would be appreciated. Monetary donations are accepted through our website and at all the local banks or mailed to Cochrane Activettes, Box 535, Cochrane AB.,T4C 1A7. Due to increased risks factors we are closing the Clothesline to the public at this time. It will now be utilized as a drop off point for any donations that residents feel they are able to share with those that are less fortunate or are in isolation. Items that will be required are non-perishable food items, personal care items and cleaning products. Please leave donations outside the door between the hours of 11 am and 4 pm Monday through Saturday. Food items can still be dropped off at the three grocery stores as well. If you are in need please call FCSS. We are a strong community and are in a good position to weather this. Let’s do this together.

The Activettes put together 293 hampers for families that needed them including a turkey or another meat option. We made up Santa sacks for each child which holds toys and clothing, pajamas, toques and mitts. A family gift is added such as a puzzle or board game. We distributed 89 refurbished bikes and helmets. At least 2000 wishes for a Merry Christmas were shared! Bethany Cochrane let us know about 13 seniors who would appreciate a visit and gifts from Santa this year and we were happy to fulfill those requests. A Special Thank you to all those that volunteered at Toyland and the Food Bank, to those that donated food, clothing and gifts. The Activettes spearhead this event but it takes the whole community to put it together. Merry Christmas to all from your local Activettes ❤️
