Community BBQ for the Foodbank Friday at Southside

Did you know Red Deer’s Foodbank is even busier in 2017 than it was in 2016? The Foodbank’s July numbers are very sobering, showing a substantial increase in visitors year to year. The nice people over at Southside Dodge Chrysler Jeep & RV Centre have partnered with the Foodbank to help get our community through this rough spell.

How can you help? Glad you asked. On Friday, grab some people from work and head over to Southside Dodge Chrysler Jeep & RV Centre where they’re having a community BBQ. Just bring a bit of cash or some food to donate and have a great time!

During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities. This fascination led to Todayville, launched in 2016.
