Community donations help Wild Food Drive collect over 300k pounds of food for Medicine Hat’s Root Cellar

Nov 23, 2025 | 10:44 AM

The community in and around Medicine Hat showed its support for the local food bank during the Wild Food Drive hosted by Wild 94.5.

In total, 306,814 pounds of food were collected during the event from several businesses, schools, organizations, and even included personal donations.

On Tuesday afternoon, twin brothers Chance and Levi brought their food donation for the food drive.

The young men raised $500 by selling firewood over the past few months, using that money to purchase the donated groceries.

Root Cellar Food and Wellness Hub Executive Director Melissa Mullis said they are grateful to everyone who supported this event.
