Food Insecurity Doesn't Retire
New study shows that seniors were nearly three times more likely to reuse services from the Calgary Food Bank when compared to the general population in fiscal year 2024/25.
“We got lots of vegetables that I was able to pick; we made a huge pot of soup. There’s apples and oranges which we love. I’m struggling with my physical health and can’t work enough to pay rent and bills, so food is the last thing I try and buy when possible. But it has been very hard since the rent was increased. I’m so grateful for the Calgary Food Bank”
