Volunteers Don & Lil Grabinsky are our community heroes having worked countless hours with their church to head up and help out local Food Banks & Meal Centre initiatives.

The Edmonton Bissell Centre, a community help centre, has a weekly Sunday free community meal for 250-300 people. Don and his church had for a near decade, annually committed to putting on one of these Sunday meals. That includes organizing, supplying the food & serving. Recently Don and his church with only a couple of days notice was asked in a moment of desperation if they could go beyond that annual call and help for the upcoming Sunday that was missing for that day a support team. Don quickly organized and aided in making the day another successful meal for those in need.

In addition to that Don and Lil with other church members help out a local community “Food Bank & Bread Run” by getting up early on Saturday mornings to pickup from Grocery store food and bread suppliers to help out later in the morning families that are in need.

Many thanks to Don and Lil and his church team for giving the most valuable gift of “time” to those in need in our community.
