An Emergency Hamper from the Calgary Inter-Faith Food Bank provides Calgarians in crisis with a nutritionally balanced hamper with approximately one week of food. In every Emergency Fod Hamper, we guarantee some items to ensure minimum food value requirements are met. When we do not have enough donations of guaranteed items we must purchase them. The average cost of an Emergency Hamper for a family of four is $115.
