About the Calgary Food Bank
The Calgary Food Bank is an emergency food distribution hub. The Calgary Food bank gathers and distributes quality emergency food to individual Calgarians and the agencies that serve them.
Amble with Angus specifically supports The Children's Milk Program at the Calgary Food Bank which enhances the nutritious food choices of women and children in low-income families that have limited, inadequate or insecure access to sufficient, nutritious, personally acceptable food, to meet the daily needs of an active and healthy life. Milk and baby formula is accessed through the Home Delivery Program and/or the Agency Program.
In 2010, the Children's Milk Program delivered 34,430 cartons of milk and 2,821 canisters of formula to 1,974 households by way of 7,898 deliveries.
The Calgary Food Bank provides food and resources every day because of the dedication and compassion of their volunteers. Every day between 80 and 100 people volunteer at the Food Bank. Last year, more than 4,346 individual and group volunteers gave an incredible 95,948 hours of their time to help the Calgary Food Bank feed the hungry. For every $1 we receive we can distribute $4 worth of food to hungry Calgarians.
