The Calgary Food Bank is looking to stock up for the spring and summer and need your help.
Their ‘extra helping food drive’ is running now until April 24th; it started back in 2011 because the food bank was in need of a spring fundraiser to help in the summer.
The organization’s Shawna Ogston explains what they need the most at this time: “Of course, our most needed items are canned protein in the flip-top lids, like a can of tuna or salmon or even ham, but if we could have the easy opening flip-tops, that would greatly help go towards many of our hampers.”
You can donate a non-perishable food item to any Superstore or No Frills location in the city, or, if you’d rather donate cash, you can add $2 to your bill at the checkout.
