BB4CK is a Calgary-based foundation that strives to provide lunches to kids in the city with food security problems.
Hunger in Alberta and Calgary is a reality. And hunger looks different from what you think.In Alberta, among households with children, 16.7% of Albertans under the age of 18 lived under the poverty threshold in 2018—more than 160,000 CHILDREN.
More specifically, to Calgary, 21% of Calgarians said they were struggling to buy food and groceries for themselves and their families.
From their site:
"We feed kids every day, kids that are in school and kids that are at-home learning. Everything we do is possible thanks to the community, including volunteers, donors, and partners. Every day, volunteers come together and prepare healthy lunches that are delivered to kids in school; some volunteers come to our central kitchen, while others go to one of the 24 community groups that are spread throughout the city.
Corporate groups, restaurants, individuals, all of us get together with one purpose in mind: to send healthy lunches to kids in their community. We are funded by people like you, corporations, small businesses, and everyone that cares about feeding kids in our city."
