Since its inception in the 1980s, the Airdrie Food Bank (AFB) has grown alongside the city's rapidly increasing population. The AFB is currently supporting 700 families weekly.

​

This growth has strained the current facility, resulting in space constraints that limit the efficient storage, sorting, and distribution of food and the safety and coordination of volunteers. To meet these challenges, AFB has acquired an off-site storage facility—the AFB Annex.

​

This expansion will relieve pressure on the main location, improve operational efficiency, and allow for greater community engagement, while maintaining the convenience and accessibility of the main site for clients.
