Food-bank use continues to rise across Alberta, with more than 230,000 visits recorded in March 2026, an increase of more than nine per cent from the previous year.
In Fort McMurray, the Wood Buffalo Food Bank says more working families are turning to its services as rising grocery costs put pressure on household budgets. Operations manager Kristen Hayward explains how increasing demand, fewer donations and higher food prices are affecting the organization's ability to support residents.
