THEORY OF CHANGE
After releasing our five-year strategic plan, #FeedYYC, we began developing a Theory of Change. This document outlines how we’ll achieve the Calgary Food Bank’s new mission, to make food accessible to everyone in our city.
“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”
