Paramedic food drive set for Dec. 12 at Cochrane Independent Grocer

A Paramedic Food Drive is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Independent Grocer in Cochrane, with donations to support the Cochrane Food Bank, according to a notice from the Town of Cochrane.

The Town of Cochrane posted the notice on Dec. 9, listing the one-day collection at the grocery store during the stated hours.

The event information appears on the town’s website and on a poster that reads, “Donations collected will support the Cochrane Food Bank.” The poster lists the location as “Independent Grocer” and specifies the time as 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.

The notice does not name a paramedic service associated with the drive. It does not specify particular items requested for donation or indicate whether monetary contributions will be accepted.

The town’s event posting and accompanying graphic identify the date, time and location without additional instructions. The promotional image features an ambulance illustration on a blue-and-white background and reiterates the collection window and beneficiary.

No other dates or locations are listed in the town’s materials; the posting describes this as a single-day collection at the Independent Grocer in Cochrane.
