Calgary Food Bank

In light of the new provincial restrictions announced on November 12 and out of an abundance of caution, we have come to the difficult decision to revise our Stuff A Bus event. While we won’t be live on location, you can still support the campaign if you are shopping at your local Co-op or by making a donation online until November 18.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Help feed YYC

Host a fundraiser

We are community owned and community supported, meaning all of our donations come directly from generous community members like YOU! Hosting your own fundraiser is a great way to help support the community and feed YYC. October to December are our busiest fundraising months of the year; they help to set us up for the winter to ensure that we have the food and funds we need to support Calgarians.

If you are hosting a food drive to collect food donations from friends, family, coworkers or clients; or hosting an online fundraiser to help feed YYC, make sure you register your event. By registering your fundraiser we can support your event, share your work and inspire others, and so we can say thank you!

“When I picked up my generous hamper last Tuesday, I was almost out of money with no job prospects. A message on my answering machine at home let me know I had a temp job starting the following Monday. It’s been a good week, thanks in part to plenty of food in the fridge and cupboard. Than you all for being a wonderful encouragement to me and making a big difference in my life.”
