Cindy Baydala, Personal Banker for ATB Financial, said the head office of ATB Financial gave $500 to their bank, and then staff gave $2 each on Casual Fridays so they would be allowed to wear jeans for work.

“All this money goes into an account. We are donating $500 so we are asking Vegreville and the surrounding community to help match $1,000 so we can give back to the community by giving to Vegreville Food Bank.

People could give food or cash donations where all proceeds will go to Vegreville Food Bank,” said Baydala.

“We felt that this cause was important due to COVID-19 and the layoffs that happened because of this virus. There are going to be a lot of people who will need the food bank.”
