Holiday food drive at Seasons-Lethbridge-Gardens benefits food bank
Turning to the spirit of giving, Seasons Lethbridge Gardens Retirement Community has wrapped up its annual Holiday Food Drive in support of the Lethbridge Food Bank.
General Manager Sonni Worne says along with communities in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario, Seasons contributed more than $350,000 in food and funds, along with thousands of canned goods, this year alone.
According to Season Retirement Communities, seniors aged 65 and older now account for 8.3 per cent of all food bank clients across the country, up from 7.7 per cent in 2024.
