Case Study: Supporting Okotoks Food Bank with Durable, Space-Saving Shelving Solutions

Westbow Systems




Okotoks Food Bank Needed Durable Shelving to Maximize Space

For years, the Okotoks Food Bank in Alberta has been a cornerstone of community support, distributing food to families in need. However, their growing operations strained their storage capacity, with limited space and aging shelving systems making it challenging to organize and manage increasing donations. They needed a solution that could withstand the high-volume demands of their daily operations while maximizing every square foot of space.


Westbow Systems Delivered Custom Shelving Pro Bono

Understanding the critical role the Okotoks Food Bank plays in the community, Westbow Systems stepped in to help. As part of a long-standing commitment to social responsibility, Westbow Systems provided a range of storage solutions tailored to the food bank's needs:

  • Pallet Racking for Bulk Storage: Designed for durable, high-volume use, ensuring the food bank could safely store and access large donations.

  • Static Shelving for Everyday Use: Flexible shelving systems that simplified the organization of non-perishable items and smaller goods.

  • Optimized Layouts for Maximum Space Utilization: Westbow Systems ensured every inch of the food bank’s storage area was used efficiently.

In addition to donating the delivery and installation services, Westbow Systems provided shelving at discounted rates as part of their pro bono contribution, demonstrating a commitment to the community beyond the business.


A Lasting Partnership Built on Trust

This project not only transformed the Okotoks Food Bank’s storage capabilities but also strengthened their relationship with Westbow Systems. The durable shelving systems created a more efficient workspace, enabling the food bank to focus on what truly matters: helping families in need across Alberta.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Westbow Systems’ generosity and expertise. Their support ensures we can serve our community more effectively,” said a representative of the food bank.
