DOUG AND PAUL
How two inspiring Calgarians put fitness philanthropy in action
RENOVATIONS
It has been a little over a month since we’ve completed the major portion of renovations to our emergency food hamper distribution area. We spoke with our Logistics and Inventory Manager, Mike, to understand the process for designing and implementing these renovations, as well as learn more about what’s to come.
SATELLITE PROGRAM
A robust process for assessing, onboarding, and managing potential Satellite Locations has been developed to ensure the network of locations meet the needs of as many clients in need as possible and in the most sustainable way.
FEED, LEAD, CONNECT
We revamped the process and have now initiated a more client centric, trauma-informed way to guide clients to supports beyond food. Today we have trained Referral & Resource volunteers who call clients that opt for follow-up.
FRESH FOOD RESCUE PROGRAM
The Calgary Food Bank in collaboration with the Calgary Co-op launched a food rescue program and it is wildly successful.
