A new food bank for military veterans is helping reach people who sometimes have difficulty seeking support. The Veterans Association Food Bank is providing food hampers to veterans and their families. Now open at 17218 107th Ave., the food bank will mark its grand opening Nov. 1. A veteran himself, he needed assistance from a food bank in the past but convinced himself others needed it more than he did. The new food bank in Edmonton was only possible after the same group found success with the Veterans Association Food Bank in Calgary, which opened in 2018 .
