Christmas Aid Program

Ensuring that 1,800 families receive the joy of a traditional Christmas dinner and food to sustain them throughout the holidays is no small feat, and we’re continually astounded by the number of volunteers and local businesses who volunteer their time to make donations and deliver boxes for our Christmas Aid Program.

“Overall, this is our biggest project of the year in terms of funds required and food
distributed” says FDA vice president and project coordinator Carla Ayles.
“Just the number of volunteers alone is surprising. To many it appears to be a one-
day activity but in reality, this is a two-month project from start to finish”.

Registration for a Christmas box takes place each year from the end of October to mid- December. If you’re interested, please contact the distribution centre or Peter McKee Community Food Centre. All donations can be made during our Sue Stutltz Turkey Drive, which you can learn more about on our Donations page.

Our weekly 50/50 draw gives us a steady stream of revenue that – in addition to buying food – helps pay the administrative costs not covered by donations and/or grants.

Once you register at one of our designated locations, you may purchase individual tickets for $2 each, three tickets for $5 or 10 tickets for $10. Public draws are held Wednesdays at 1:00 pm at the distribution centre and the winners are contacted shortly afterwards.

Please note that you must pay a minimum of $2 each week to activate a ticket. Otherwise, it will be considered a non-winning ticket if drawn. Your name will remain in the draw each week until you deactivate your account.

The more tickets you buy, the greater your chances of winning!

FOOD DEPOT WEEKLY 50/50 DRAW

We all have heard how it “takes a village to raise a child”, well in that same vain we believe it “takes a community to feed its hungry”.

How Does the Food Depot 50/50 Draw Work? You must be registered to play. Register by providing your name and phone number at any of the retail outlets listed below and you will be assigned a PLAYER NUMBER which will also be your TICKET NUMBER. At the start of each weekly draw, one ticket with the TICKET NUMBER on it for every registered player will physically drop into a large drum at the Food Depot Alimentaire. On draw day, Food Depot draws ONE ticket from the drum and identifies through the computer if the number on the ticket drawn was purchased that week. If you purchased your $2.00 ticket for that draw and your ticket is drawn on Draw Day, you would be a WINNER and collect one-half of the jackpot. If you DID NOT purchase your $2.00 ticket for that draw and your ticket is drawn, then you would be a NON-WINNER, collect zero and the entire jackpot would roll over to the next week. All tickets are then removed from the drum and the process repeats itself the following week. You do not have to be at home at the time of the draw to win. The winner has 12 months from the draw date to claim their winnings. The purchase of 3/$5.00 activates the ticket already in the drum as well as drops two additional tickets into the drum for a total of three chances to win and a 10/$10.00 purchase activates the ticket in the drum and drops an additional nine ticket into the drum for a total of ten chances to win. The “- #” after each ticket number indicates the individual ticket in the drum for that draw. There is no limit on the number of tickets you can purchase.

Where Do You Register and Play Each Week? Players can purchase their ticket(s) at any of the following locations at any time. ANY OF THE NEEDS CONVENIENCE STORES located in Moncton, Riverview, Richibucto, and Port Elgin. Other locations include: IN MONCTON: AC Convenience; Salisbury Road PetroCan; Westmount Service Center; Lakeside Convenience; Caledonia Industrial Park Shell Service Station; Horseman Road Shell Service Station IN RIVERVIEW: The Rite Stop; Riverview Circle K; Point Park PetroCan IN DIEPPE: Dieppe Shell Blvd Adelard Savoie IN SHEDIAC: Belliveau Grocery and Gas Bar; Vestiaire St Joseph and Wilsons Gas Stop IN SACKVILLE: Circle K Irving

Can Players Purchase Tickets in Advance or Online? You are able to purchase tickets for future draws at any of the locations listed above for up to one year (52 weeks). You can still purchase additional tickets on the current draw at any time. Tickets are not available for sale online at this time.

When Is The Draw? The draw will occur each Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 pm at Food Depot. The winner will be contacted by phone and the winning number posted on our website, Facebook Page and Twitter. The name of the winner or non-winner is posted on the terminal screen at each retail location until the next draw.

How Do I Change My Name or Contact Information or Withdraw From The Draw? You must contact Food Depot Alimentaire to change your name, contact information or to have your draw number suspended indefinitely; otherwise, your number will be registered and in play indefinitely.
