Okotoks residents are invited to help fill a trailer with donations for the Okotoks Food Bank today.

18 Wheels of Christmas will have their festively-decorated rig parked at Save-On-Foods Okotoks.

Care packages pre-filled with food can be purchased for five dollars, and cash donations will also be accepted.

According to Okotoks Food Bank Executive Director Sheila Hughes, food donations collected at the event will be used for regular hampers as well as Christmas hampers. All donations collected locally will stay in the community, benefitting our local food bank, with cash donations helping to support the food bank's fresh food fund.

18 Wheels of Christmas will be at Save-On-Foods from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today.
