On Tuesday (March 21), Food Banks Canada announced a 2.6 million dollar grant from the Walmart Foundation.

The Airdrie Food Bank will benefit from the grant, as they will receive a $29,500 donation.

The Food Bank plans to use the money to purchase a one-tonne truck. The new truck will enable the Food Bank to make larger food pickups, and also to unload at their warehouse more efficiently.
