Take me to the Calgary Food Bank's Twitter feed

Join the Calgary Food Bank on Twitter and get up-to-the minute updates, share info and interact with the online hunger-fighting community!

Twitter is a “microblogging” site where users communicate with contacts in 140 characters or less. Far from being a passing fad, Twitter is the world’s fastest growing Internet phenomenon, attracting users from Oprah Winfrey to Barack Obama to, well, us!

Read our Twitter updates. Even better, sign up for your own free Twitter account and add us as a contact! Go to http://www.twitter.com, click the big “Get Started — Join!” button, and follow the instructions on the screen.

Once you have an account, use the “find people” button to look for interesting individuals and organizations (to find us, search for CalgaryFoodBank). Once you click the “follow” button on their screens, you will be able to read all their updates. Keep adding people and telling your friends about your Twitter page, and you will soon have followers of your own. Read an interesting article? Post a link! Volunteering at an event? Tell your friends! Need a good recipe? Ask away! Just keep it to 140 characters or less!

If you have any Twitter-related questions, email us.

For every $1 donated, the Food Bank can distribute $4 of food.
