A Taste of Jamaica cooking class is happening next Tuesday! Chef Lauren has come up with an exceptional recipe this go around. What's on the menu?
Start the evening with crisp plantain chips served alongside a Jamaican-style mango chutney. Students will then prepare the star of the night — authentic jerk chicken — learning the balance of spice, heat, and aromatics that make this dish iconic. The meal is paired with classic Jamaican rice and peas. To finish on a sweet note, each guest will take home a traditional cornmeal pudding.
$75 per person.

From a bird’s eye view, it’s amazing to see everything that’s been going on here at the Red Deer Food Bank. Thank you to the Rotary Club for asking us to put this video together. It’s given us the opportunity to reflect on all the progress we’ve made, the connections we have with one another, and how we work as a team to support the food insecure in our community. ✨🌟✨

2026 has been a heck of a year so far.
Through it all, our volunteers have been troopers.
They've stood with us through renovations and the many changes that means.
Through new faces and spaces.
Through different protocols and practices.
Through all the Jenga towers in the warehouse, drywall and sawdust, and logjams in the parking lot.
We cannot do what we do without your continuous, dedicated support that knows no end.
Thank you.
(If you would like to be a part of our volunteer family, please visit our website to apply. There is always room for you at our table.)
