How Do We Work Towards A Hunger Free Community?
With the increased cost of living and inflation not seen in 40 years, our social safety nets are fraying. Using client feedback and data, we continue to take the necessary steps to help the community.
Volunteers Needed!
Right now, we are feeding 1,000 Calgarians a day. Hundreds of hampers are being distributed to neighbours, friends and families who need food support during this incredibly trying time. Volunteers make up half of the workforce in our warehouse; they sort, build and distribute hampers.
A Glance Back
We want to reflect on our past and celebrate some incredible organizations that feed hungry people in the community throughout the year.
Celebrating our Grocery Heroes
Today is Grocery Hero Day! We are extremely proud and incredibly grateful of the connection with our more than 100 grocery store partners, including Sobeys, Safeway, Save On Foods, Calgary Co-op, Superstore, No Frills, Costco and Walmart. It is a great honour to work with so many dedicated employees that understand the importance of giving back.
Feeding the need beyond our city limits
Our Food Share Program and is critical for many food banks in the province, and even across the country, in helping alleviate hunger in their communities.
