Help Feed Calgary
for every dollar donated we can distribute $3.50 worth of quality food!
OUR RISE IN DEMAND
Over the last couple of years the Calgary Food Bank has seen unprecedented demand. 30% of those needing food support are working; they list employment as their major source of income, but their paychecks just aren’t stretching. With the rising cost of living, more and more people are struggling to make ends meet, the community’s help is needed now more than ever.
BY COMMUNITY FOR COMMUNITY
The Calgary Food Bank is truly by community, for community. In partnership with the food industry and people like you, for every $1 received, we can distribute $3.50 worth of food. We invite you to help by contributing online, by phone, mail, or in person. All donations over $25 made online, phone, mail, or in person will receive a tax receipt.
COLLECTING DONATIONS FROM OTHERS
If you are donating funds from a raffle, lottery or 50/50, or if the donation has been collected from other people, please do not use the online donation link, but rather, contact our Community Engagement Team at 403-253-2059 Option 3 or by email at events@calgaryfoodbank.com.
