Food Bank

Earlier this month Hardisty families received a call from Mr Steenwinkel, outlining the different ways Hardisty School is reaching out to the greater community.

 Parents and students may have noticed a lot of Food Bank boxes at the main entrance. Every year, these boxes are filled to the brim with all sorts of food, thanks to the generous donations of students, parents and Hardisty staff.

In this season of giving, please consider a generous donation to the Food Bank boxes this Christmas. 

Did you know that the Edmonton Food Bank was also Canada's first food bank, and that 40% of Food Bank users in Edmonton are children ? 

Below are a few links to help you with your donation:


Logos and Community students attended Chapel and Assembly in late November to hear speakers from the Food Bank. Grade 8-4 Student Khyia summarised the Chapel from November:

For November’s chapel we had the privilege to have a guest
speaker, by the name of Mrs. Wendy Poirier. Mrs Poirier was a
former teacher of Hardisty school and she came to advise and
explain her hard work and effort for the Edmonton's homeless
shelter. 

She educated us on all the people that come every day
and how much food they provide generously from their heart for
each family. They consistently get new people and never seem to
fail to satisfy these homeless people. On top of that, they welcome
them and bring them in, no strings attached. 

Mrs Poirier mentioned a prayer she once heard in church and it really spoke to her heart
and the prayer stated:

“May you see the face of Christ in everyone
you meet, and may everyone you meet 
see the face of Christ in
you.”

 Which was an miraculous statement that probably spoke to
many hearts in the room. It was an incredible experience for young
believers such as ourselves and to stand up for what we believe in.
Also, it really pushes us to see a difference in others and for others
to see a difference in you, which is very significant because you
should be radiating with the face of Christ through your actions,
words and thoughts.
