HOST YOUR OWN EVENT
YEAR ROUND
You can hold your own personal and unique food drive, fundraiser or event. We’ve made it easy to get involved with the support or the events team!
MAYOR'S FOOD DRIVE
NOVEMBER – DECEMBER
The Mayor’s Food Drive collects important food and funds for families and individuals in need during the holidays and into the New Year.
CBC MAKE THE SEASON KIND
NOVEMBER – DECEMBER
Donate food and funds throughout the month of December at one of the many events supporting the CBC Calgary Food Bank Drive.
CANSTRUCTION®
MARCH
CANstruction brings together teams of engineers, architects and builders to create impressive structures out of nonperishable food items. After they are displayed to the public and judged, they are deconstructed, and the food makes its way into our client’s hampers.
BARE BOTTOM DIAPER DRIVE
MAY AND JUNE
Generous Calgarians and businesses come together each May to collect diapers, baby food and formula. We rely on donations of diapers and designated funds for the more than 10,000 families.
GROW A ROW
SPRING & SUMMER
Large or small, every donation from a garden makes an incredible impact. It is critical to eat well when you are in crisis so when we can give fresh garden vegetables it tells someone they matter. It’s fresh from the heart!
PUT THE BOOTS TO HUNGER
JULY
Put the Boots to Hunger this Stampede by raising fund and/or food on our behalf, get tickets for our Cowboy Up 50/50 raffle, attend pancake breakfast events in support of us and more!
CITY-WIDE FOOD DRIVE
SEPTEMBER
Every year, we collaborate with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to collect several hundred thousand of pounds of food, donated by generous community members like you.
CALGARY CORPORATE CHALLENGE
