CALGARY JOHN HOWARD SOCIETY

“A budget is a budget, and grocery store prices are insane these days. So [accessing Food Link] means we can afford more nutritional items.” — Calgary John Howard Soceity

“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”
