We are lucky to be supported by so many incredible community groups, including the Lakeview 85th Scout Group! Recently their Beaver Scouts came together to do a community improvement project in order to earn their North Star Badge, and the Calgary Food Bank was the lucky benefactor. Their final year Beaver Scouts built this Beaver entirely out of cans, raising money to fund the project and donating the leftover $50 to our cause. We are incredibly grateful, well done scouts!

“When I didn’t have that option to come to the food bank it is so stressful that I have had to keep my kids home from school due to shame and embarrassment of no access to food for their lunch.” – Calgary Food Bank Client
