People experiencing food insecurity are resilient and resourceful in meeting their basic needs.
A recent project by our Research Team explored how changes in social assistance and economic factors influence Calgary Food Bank usage.
Immigrant Services Calgary has connected people experiencing food insecurity to the Calgary Food Bank. We met with Rebeca Andrada to learn.
The Calgary Food Bank takes food safety very seriously. We monitor the temperature of our fridges, freezers, and trucks, we have handwashing stations throughout the building, and Quat sanitizers are plentiful for clean workstations.
