A memorabilia shop in Leduc is rallying the community to support its neighbours in need this holiday season. The Hobby Spot & QCB has launched an ambitious campaign with a clear goal: collect 20,000 items for the local food bank by Saturday, December 20, 2025.
A Community Hub Drives Generosity
More than just a store for collectors, The Hobby Spot & QCB is transforming into a central donation point. The initiative, reported on December 15, leverages the shop's role as a community gathering place to motivate customers and residents to contribute. The drive highlights the ongoing need for support at local food banks, especially during the winter months and holiday period.
The Race to Reach a Critical Goal
The shop has set a significant target of 20,000 donated food items. With the deadline set for the upcoming Saturday, the push is on for community members to drop off non-perishable goods. This tangible goal provides a focused objective for the campaign, giving people a clear understanding of the impact they can make.
The food drive directly addresses food insecurity in the Leduc area, a concern that persists in many Alberta communities. By creating an accessible and familiar drop-off location, the organizers hope to remove barriers to giving and make it easy for everyone to participate.
Local Business Steps Up for Alberta Neighbours
This effort exemplifies how local businesses can act as catalysts for community support. Rather than simply running a commercial operation, The Hobby Spot & QCB is using its platform to mobilize resources for a vital social service. The success of the drive will be measured not in sales, but in the volume of essential supplies delivered to the Leduc Food Bank.
As the Saturday deadline approaches, the call is out for canned goods, pasta, cereal, and other staples. The campaign serves as a reminder that holiday spirit is best shown through acts of collective care and support for those facing hardship.
