Our contributionFood 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.
Feed 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. After the pandemic, Feed the Hungry was able to resume weekly sit-down Sunday meal, thanks to the genority of our sponsors, donors, and volunteers. |
It's a sense of community, we feed the tummy, soul and heart. You only need to volunteer once and you know that wonderful things are happening in this hall." |
It was amazing! Definitely one of the very few churches doing Gods work ... so many are thankful for this meal each week, as am I, some weeks its the only real meal many of us eat." |
After spending almost 6 months getting food at another agency I suppose anything tastes like a slice of heaven, but after having a good home cooked style meal at Feed the Hungry, I realized how much I missed living a normal life." |
Volunteering at Feed the Hungry has taught me that our guests are a gift to us and we are a gift to them. Both of us must be willing to give and to receive. Neither is better or superior. I also appreciate how quickly people’s circumstances can change and the person served can become the one who serves, or vice versa." |
Sponsor one Sunday for $6,000We invite you to partner with us in generosity and make a direct impact to help our community. One Sunday at a time.
