One of the core values that Novamen prides itself on is giving back to our community. Our whole team is committed to giving our time and financial support to help local charities, teams and individuals receive the aid they need.

Ronald McDonald House provides families of sick children with a place to stay while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital. The Red Deer Regional Hospital has 33,000 pediatric stays per year, with one-third being from out of town. With 30 out of town patients per day at the hospital, there is a great need for Red Deer’s Ronald McDonald House to provide housing for their families.
At a very stressful time in a family’s life, Novamen employees step up to help ease the burden in a very practical way. We volunteered one evening every month to plan, shop for, and prepare a healthy, nutritious meal for the children and their families.

Red Deer is a tough place to be homeless. With winter temperatures dipping below -40C at times, being outdoors for an extended period is out of the question. Fortunately, places like the Warming Centre provide a warm and safe environment during cold periods. The city of Red Deer funds the Centre during the winter months, but these funds rarely are able to cover the extra cost of providing meals.
The Red Deer Warming Centre relies almost solely on volunteers and donations to provide meals during the day, often with just peanut butter and bread available to eat.
Novamen employees committed to providing and serving at least one or two wholesome and nutritious meals per month.

Employees from the Novamen Acheson warehouse started to prepare and deliver food to the elderly or shut in people in the area in 2019.
Some volunteer opportunities available with Meals on Wheels are:
Meals-on-Wheels Volunteer Driver
Volunteers deliver nutritionally balanced meals and groceries to people from Edmonton and area who cannot prepare adequate meals or shop easily for themselves.
Kitchen Helper
Our team helped Edmonton Meals on Wheels prepare over 700 meals each weekday by chopping, peeling, dishing and packaging food, baking, and more.
Meals on Wheels Grocery Shopper
Volunteer grocery shoppers bought, delivered and shelved groceries for low income and homebound people who cannot shop for themselves. Each volunteer is matched with a client in a preferred city location.
“I really appreciate the service and the visits from the volunteers. They are really nice and polite. It’s usually the only person I see in a day, so I look forward to it.” -Meals on Wheels client, Patricia

Type: Donation
Residents of Fort McMurray and the surrounding Wood Buffalo Regional District were the victims of “the Beast,” a huge wildfire that burned out of control in the northern Alberta municipality in May 2016. Fort McMurray and surrounding areas were evacuated as the fire destroyed many of the homes in the city.
It was a monumental effort by many volunteers, first responders and corporations to safely house, feed and evacuate thousands of residents.
Novamen donated $10,000 to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal in support of the victims of the Fort McMurray fire. We have the privilege of working with many companies in the oilsands and community of Fort McMurray, and we wanted to help support them through that difficult time.
Since: 2016
