Ep. #202. Marie Blackburn, Founder of the Veterans Association Food Bank

https://veteransassociationfoodbank.ca/

Marie Blackburn founded the Veterans Association Food Bank in Calgary, Alberta. This Food Bank was the first of it's kind in Canada, and as far as I know, the first in the world.

It has now expanded to Edmonton, and there is a demand for new branches across the country.

There has been a large increase in demand for their services due to inflation, so if you're able to donate, please do so.

The Calgary branch also has a thrift store, so donations can be made there as well in the form of household items, clothing, tools, etc.

Our Mission

The Veterans Association Food Bank is dedicated to supporting and enriching the lives of Veterans and their families.

Our Vision

As a community of Veterans helping Veterans, we will be the support base where together we create healthy and resilient futures.


The Veterans Association Food Bank recognizes any person who is currently serving or has honorably served in the Canadian Armed Forces. The Veterans Association Food Bank also recognizes and offers support to those currently serving, honorably discharged or honorably released Commonwealth Allies, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Peacekeepers, Merchant Marines, or Ferry Command (Coast Guard). Support will be extended to spouses, widows, widowers, and any dependent children in need. Proof of military service or affiliation required.
