Looking for a Heartfelt, Consistent Way to Give?
Become a Hunger Hero and help provide kids with the nutritious lunches they need to thrive.
The Hunger Hero program brings together a community of passionate monthly donors who believe no kid should go hungry. By providing reliable, ongoing support, Hunger Heroes are fighting food insecurity by ensuring kids in Calgary receive a nutritious lunch every school day.
Why is it Important?
We know kids in our city go to school without enough food to eat every day. In 2023, nearly 1 in 3 children in Alberta lived in a household experiencing food insecurity. For kids, this means going to school hungry, struggling to focus in class, missing out on social connections, and not being able to grow, play and learn how kids should.
One BB4CK lunch costs $4 to make and deliver. With a monthly gift of $80, you are providing 20 nutritious lunches—enough to feed one kid every school day for a month. Your support allows us to plan more effectively and deliver consistent, long-term programs for kids and families who need dignified food access.
Join the battle against food insecurity today!
