About us
Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK) is a community-funded, non-profit organization that has been working for over 35 years to make sure kids across Calgary have access to the food they need.
Our work is powered by the generosity and care of individuals, foundations and organizations that believe every child deserves access to nutritious food. Together, with the BB4CK community — donors, volunteers, kids & families, school staff, board members, and partners — we work across the food insecurity spectrum year-round through school lunches, summer food support and grocery cards for families.
