The Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent quarantine of communities has caused many individuals to lose their livelihood and income which has led to an increased demand in Emergency Food Hampers, we've announced that for the month of May we will be donating $2 from every delivery order to the Calgary Food Bank, but we need your help to make our efforts go even further!

You can help us provide food for those in need. If you’re able, we’d love it if you could make a monetary or non-perishable food item donation to help us achieve our mission.

Thank you in advance for your contribution. Your donation will go toward filling Emergency Food Hampers to be given to those struggling the most through these unprecedented times.

Here are the ways you can make a donation:

·      Make a donation online at https://www.canadahelps.org/en/pages/empanada-queen-food-bank-fundraiser/

·      Make a donation in store or add the amount to your delivery/take out order (you can call us or add it to your delivery notes)

·      Leave any non-perishable donations out for pick up when we deliver your order (please call us to let us know where you've left it or add it to the delivery notes)

·      Drop off non-perishable food donations when visiting in store or picking up curbside take-out orders

Thank you again for your continued support!

As we all know, the events of the past days and weeks have been unprecedented, and we will continue to monitor and navigate this rapidly changing situation.

Proper sanitation practices have always been, and will remain, a top priority for us, having always been in compliance and exceeding regulations set by Alberta Health Services. In addition to our current procedures, we will also implement any additional measures necessary to ensure the safety of our restaurant is not compromised.

Steps we are currently taking include:

-        Increased level of care protocols for receiving, preparing, and handling food & food waste

-        Limiting the number of people in the restaurant to a level which will allow for meaningful social distancing

-        Frequent handwashing by all staff (after handling cash, touching face or hair, touching common points of contact, clearing tables, etc.)

-        Any staff member reporting cold or flu symptoms is required to stay home for a minimum of 14 days

As a family-owned business, we are facing a major challenge to keep our beloved restaurant going and to take care of our staff and our customers. We will be changing some of our operating procedures in the coming days so please stay tuned for updates.

It’s often in difficult times that we reflect on what matters most, we are so lucky for all the support our customers have provided us through the years. That being said, please take the time to support local businesses through these difficult times and help your fellow neighbours where you can!
