On March 5th we had our last trip to the Food Bank for this Season. 

Again, an excellent example of Team Work. We sorted, filled hampers and moved a lot of sorted food to the storage area.

It is a pleasure to assist at the Food Bank with these people. We get a lot done, and, we get to know each other better. We have a lot of fun.

An excellent example of Team Work for the first Food Bank night out this season. We sorted, filled hampers and moved a lot of sorted food to the storage area.

It is a pleasure to assist at the Food Bank with these people. A great big thanks to all Volunteers!

Our November team had a great time at the Food Bank. We sorted an incredible amount of donated Food. We also prepared hampers for needy people and groups.

Working at the Food Bank is a great way to get to know the Vintage members and spouses.

Thanks to all who volunteered this month

Again, a great trip to the Food Bank. Being so close to Christmas, the Food Bank was filled with Volunteers.

A very productive, but, a little chaotic.  After being involved with the Food Bank for over 10 years, the stocks of food were the lowest I have seen.  

We will do a Food Drive for the Food Bank on the 20th and 23rd of December 2019. We are also encouraging monetary donations to the Food Bank. We will have someone taking in any donated funds, we then deposit the money into the Vintage account and write a cheque to the Food Bank for that amount.

As of now we have $100.00 already collected, please feel free to donate either food or if you wish, money 

This last weeks have been wonderful for the Food Bank and For Vintage members. We should be grateful to be in such a marvelous group of people.  

Thanks to all our Volunteers for the Food Bank, and to All Vintage Members

We had a real Edmonton winter day for our January 9th Food Bank Team to endure. IT WAS SO COLD YOU COULD ,___________( Fill in the blank).  We sorted, Boxed,  placed sorted food boxes on shelves to be used in the preparation of the hampers delivered by the Food Bank.

We did a clean up as well as set up the sorting area for the next group of volunteers. A tremendous amount was accomplished.

We have had a few Vintage members arrive at the Food Bank early and work right through until our Volunteer time is complete. Very impressive.

I am always in awe of how much our teams accomplish on our trips to the Food Bank. The next trip to the Food Bank is February 6th, 2018.  We have room for 8 more Volunteers on that evening.

We had a great time at the Food Bank. We sorted a whole bunch of food so that it could easily be put into hampers.

Next month on March 6th will be our last trip for the 2017-18 Vintage season. We still need a few people. If you are available, please get in touch with Jim Knull.

Wow another year of Food Bank trips gone by. This is our last visit to the Food Bank to help until October.

We have had a great year and have accomplished a great deal to help the every day operation of the Food Bank. Every little bit helps and we did a lot of little bits this year. Thanks to all who helped.  We will be again recruiting members for the 2018-19 season beginning in September of this year. If you would like to try out this opportunity, please give me a shout at the e mail listed below.  

For all of you who have helped so much over the last few years we look forward to working with you again.

Again, a great trip to the Food Bank. Being so close to Christmas, the Food Bank was filled with Volunteers.

A very productive, but, a little chaotic.

As you notice we were working with some other Volunteers and they became part of our team for the evening and joined in with our photo.

This last week has been wonderful for the Food Bank and For Vintage members. Our group donated 294 kg of food (In our words 646.8 lbs) along with a funds donated amounting to $600.00 by Vintage members and our Visiting teams, here for the HOPE Challenge tournament.

We should be grateful to be in such a marvelous group of people.

Our biggest team ever.  We sorted food, put necessities into family weekly food hampers, and sorted out bags for re-use in the Food Bank.

We even took some time just to chat with our Food Bank team mates.A great evening had by all.

Thanks to all.

We had 21 members and friends at the Food bank. We did a variety of jobs from sorting to setting up hampers  for the Food bank users. There were two other groups working with about ten people in each group. It was wonderful to see so many helping out with the necessary work. The Food Bank is an extremely worthy cause. 

On March 7th we will be doing our last night for this year.  We have helped get a lot of work done this year.

A great evening had by all,  Thanks to all attending.

A good Shot of our Great Team. We had an epic evening in the: Food Sorting, Beer pouring out, Preparing Food hampers, Stacking sorted Food boxes, and several other tasks.

A special note, Robert Jong happened to be in the city on the 7th and instead of going home to the acreage and returning, he just went to the Food Bank at 3 PM and worked all the way through to 8 PM.

As well as getting an incredible amount of work accomplished, we had a great time working and visiting together. It is wonderful to see, and interact, with our members away from the Rink.

To have so many spouses join us in this endeavour is so fantastic. 

Thank you to All.

Our Vintage Team had a great evening at the Food Bank on December 5th.  We sorted, boxed, prepared hampers, placed sorted food on shelves and did a clean up as well as set up the sorting area for the next group of volunteers. Again a tremendous amount was accomplished.

We had five first timers (Rookies), great to have you, and, Robert Jong again was there at 4:00 PM and stayed until all was done.

Last week included donations collected at the Hope Challenge Mini Tournament.

This week was the Food drive at Vintage. We had 3 full Food Bank boxes that weighed approximately 810 pounds (photos 2 through 4).

As coordinator of the Food bank program, I am always in awe of how much our teams accomplish on our trips to the Food Bank, and by the amount of food donated by our Vintage group.

The next trip to the Food Bank is January 9th, 2018. 

Thank you to All.

We had a very successful evening helping out in a necessary part of Edmonton’s support for people needing a leg-up. We sorted a great deal of donated food, put the donations into the appropriate boxes and then on the suitable shelves,  and, generally had a great time.

At the moment, The Food Bank has nearly seventeen thousand who need some help with food. We feel grateful to be able to help in a small way in this endeavour.  We had a great night at the Food Bank helping out with the day to day chores.  We sorted several hundred pounds of food.  We worked very hard and, so very well as a teamThanks to the entire crew. It definitely was a fun and productive evening.  
Looking forward to next month.

Food Bank donation stations were set up at Kinsmen Arenas this week during Vintage Hockey sessions.
