Please be advised that we will not be reachable by phone between December 19th and January 4th, but you can send Erica an email in the meantime.

Dec 14th So we got an egg truck today and our volunteers are calling to come pick up...If you didnt get a call either your contact info is out of date, we ran out of eggs or some other issue. We will continue this until 4:30 or when we run out of product. We will be doing more calling again in the morning.... Your understanding, respect and patience is needed. Thank you...

Due to recent covid-19 infections in the region our facilities are closed on Monday and Tuesday for all business. Reopens on Wednesday for staff only as we will remain closed to the public. The only exception would be if we get a food truck in. The arrival of a food truck will trigger our food distribution team and the drive thru with strick covid-19 measures in effect. We thank you for your understanding, respect and patience in this and all matters.

Dec 11th Benoit First Nation new membership applicants: To all those who recently applied to join the band before the Nov 16th cut-off, your applications were approved and the band cards are being made. However, due to the high volume it will take some time to get the cards all done and emailed with your acceptance letters. In the meantime if you email our membership Clerk Myra Benoit, she can reply with your membership number. Her email is [email protected]... Frozen Food Program All those who submitted a frozen food order form before the Nov 25th deadline will receive a call (1 per household) when to come pick up food. We are still waiting on our first truck. Also anyone on the Benoit First Nation Band list will also automatically get a call (1 per household) when we receive our first truck. We ask and expect your understanding, your respect and your patience in these matters. Late Frozen Food order forms As the lists were printed off on Nov 26th in preparation for the food distribution program any frozen food forms received after that date will NOT receive a call. However we have decided that these households will all be entered in a drum for a special new daily raffle draw after we get some frozen food. After all we dont want anyone left out.. Even though we estimate that we already may have more applicants than there will be food. Thanks Benoit First Nation...
