Calgary’s Lunch Program Feeding Thousands

In Calgary, Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids is feeding 8,000 students daily with nutritious, hand-packed lunches for just $4 each—thanks to 600 volunteers, including Mayor Jeremy Farkas, who’s personally invested after experiencing these programs as a kid. With 38% of Alberta kids facing food insecurity, this grassroots effort highlights a city-wide commitment to tackle hunger head-on, while pushing for faster federal funding to support local solutions and address the root causes of food insecurity affecting nearly four in ten Albertans.
