The Calgary Food Bank is the first line of emergency food support for people facing crisis. As the city’s main charitable food hub and the most accessible food bank, we have the capacity to serve families, individuals and organizations to fight hunger. We receive almost no government funding and instead we are by community, for community, relying on the generous support of people like you.
The Calgary Food Bank addresses hunger in the community though these programs:
EMERGENCY FOOD HAMPERS
The Emergency Food Hamper program is at the core of our mission and what we do every day. The program is available to families and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity due to emergency situations. The food hampers contain 7 to 10 days worth of nutritious food for each person.
FOOD LINK
Food Link provides quality food and supplies to charitable organizations so that they can focus their resources on program delivery rather than sourcing food.
BREAKFAST CLUB OF CANADA PARTNERSHIP
Since 2017, the Calgary Food Bank has collaborated with the Breakfast Club of Canada to offer children an inclusive environment where they can enjoy a nutritious breakfast at school. This partnership aims to empower Calgary’s youth by providing them with the fuel they need to reach their academic potential.
MOBILE HAMPER PROGRAM
The Mobile Hamper program provides food to partnered organizations that work with the population experiencing homelessness in Calgary. Hampers provide short-term relief of hunger with easy to open, ready to eat, shelf stable food.
FOOD MOVEMENT
Food rescue is the process of gleaning viable food so that it is not going to waste. Instead we redirect to support communities locally, provincially and even nationally. We are considered a critical food distribution hub and closely work with food industry to ensure food is delivered where it is needed most.
SATELLITE LOCATIONS
Satellite locations are alternative distribution spots for our Emergency Food Hampers, and offer clients a chance to pick up their hampers closer to home.
The Calgary Food Bank is truly a by community, for community organization. Donations of food, funds and time help us work towards our mission making food accessible to everyone in our city.
