The cost of food is on the rise and so is the demand at the Cochrane Food Bank. 

Ensuring everyone in the Cochrane area enjoys a delicious Thanksgiving meal this weekend is the goal behind the third annual CochraneNow Fall Food Drive.

Eric Ruttle and Lauren Meister will be broadcasting LIVE today in front of Save-On-Foods, collecting food bank donations for the Cochrane Activettes Food Bank. 

For the last two year's Cochranites have come out in a big way to fill trucks to the brim with food and to donate over a thousand dollars in cash and gift card donations. 

Come say hi and make a donation to the food bank anytime between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. today.

Not sure what to donate? The Cochrane Activettes have put together a list of their most-wanted items:

  • Sides - such as instant mashed potatoes and Sidekicks 
  • Rice
  • Canned fruit
  • Chunky soup
  • Pasta sauce
  • Canned veggies 
  • Kraft Dinner 
  • Toilet paper

You can also make an online donation to the food bank here.
