National Food Share

The National Food Sharing System (NFSS)

As a member of Food Banks Canada, Alberta Food Banks and its members participate in the National Food Sharing System.

How it works:

Through our National Food Sharing System, Food Banks Canada acquires and shares large industry donations of food and consumer products and coordinate national-level and large-scale food drives for our food bank network, from corporations such as Kraft Canada, Kelloggs, Canada Dry Motts, General Mills, P&G, and many more.

Food Banks Canada then distributes the food to provincial associations according to the hunger count that is done on a yearly basis. Alberta Food Banks then distributes this food to member food banks throughout their province according to the hunger count. Last year, more then 1.3 million Lbs of food was distributed within Alberta through the NFS system
