Feed the Hungry offers a family-style, sit down dinner each Sunday in an atmosphere of community, warmth, safety, dignity & respect. |
Winter gifts for Feed the Hungry guests |
Alberta winters are hard, especially for those who are experiencing homelessness or in transition. Such a small thing as a good pair of mittens, gloves, socks, or a warm toque can make a big difference. We invite you to donate new mittens/gloves, socks, toques or $10 gift cards (from fast food places) to share with Feed the Hungry's guests closer to Christmas.
|
Kindly deliver items or gift cards to the Catholic Pastoral Centre Reception (120 17 Ave SW, Calgary) by Thursday, Dec. 1.
Reception is open during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm). Call 403-218-5500 if you have any questions or e-mail. |

Our contribution in 2021Feed the Hungry has been in existence in the City of Calgary for over 25 years. It is a non-denominational service in the community that addresses one of the key needs of Calgarians experiencing poverty and marginalization — a healthy, high-quality meal in a friendly atmosphere of safety, respect and family.
This outreach in the centre of the city of Calgary has been in existence for 25 years. As a result of the pandemic, this essential program of outreach was unable to host the weekly sit-down Sunday meal. Therefore, Feed the Hungry has been providing curbside-pickup food and care packages to approximately 300 guests every Sunday since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020. Food security remains a pressing need in Calgary. Data shows that our guests face moderate to severe food insecurity so they skip meals or go an entire full day without a meal. Donations to Feed the Hungry through the #BirdiesforKids website are matched up to 50% - click here | or donate directly here
