Hungry kids need your help
There are thousands of children in Calgary who simply don’t have enough food.
Please prayerfully consider partnering with us as we work to ensure that kids have enough food at school, so they can focus on learning and thrive.
The Need
It’s heartbreaking to think about the reality of a child going hungry, but right now, families are struggling. Rent keeps climbing, utility bills come back with eye-watering amounts, and groceries have skyrocketed. There are parents who are working hard to provide for their children, but their budgets have never been so stretched and it’s getting tougher every day.
For some of these children at lunchtime, they make excuses about not being hungry when someone asks them why they don’t have any food – or worse, in their embarrassment, they skip school altogether so they don’t have to come up with an explanation.
How you can help
Today, I would like to invite you to partner with us in the most important campaign of the year: feeding hungry children. By sponsoring a classroom, you will provide a healthy lunch and delicious snack to every child so that everyone is able to focus and no one is left out.
Access to nutritious food has an absolutely life-changing impact on the growth and development of kids who are going to school hungry. When kids aren’t distracted by hunger, they can focus on their studies, interact with their peers, and continue to grow healthy and strong. It keeps kids in school.
We want to raise $108,000 to provide over 40,000 meals to students in need this school year.
