March is Nutrition Month – CAN you believe it?
Working with a dietician, the Calgary Food Bank strives to meet Canada’s Food Guide as we must meet multiple dietary needs.
Diabetic Friendly Hamper Food
Common items found in hampers, such as tomato sauce, pasta, beans, tuna, canned/fresh vegetables + fruit, breads, oatmeal or cereals, nut butters, canned soups, eggs, and rice can all be used to create diabetic-friendly snacks and meals.
March is Nutrition Month
To mark this important month, we have invited Mikala Wilson, our resident nutrition expert, to blog for us. Mikala works as a Primary Care Dietitian with Mosaic Primary Care Network.
Meet Mikala Wilson!
Mikala Wilson is a Primary Care Dietitian with Mosaic Primary Care Network (PCN) and a former volunteer with the Calgary Food Bank. In the spring of 2020, she volunteered in the food distribution area; a few months later, she was asked to help with Food Hamper Nutrition Analysis. THAT was a changing moment for her and for us.
Eat Well
January is often a time of year that we take a good look at the foods we are consuming but sometimes we need advice on healthy eating.
