Volunteers gather to build Birthday Party Kits for children who might not otherwise enjoy the luxury of a birthday party. The Birthday Party Kits are nestled under the Emergency Food Hamper Program and are available for children aged one to 12 whose families are getting a food hamper within three weeks of their birthday. This initiative supports the social well-being of the children accessing the Emergency Food Hamper Program by allowing them and their families to celebrate their birthdays. ABOUT THE CALGARY FOOD BANK We are the city’s main charitable food hub and the first line of support for anyone facing a food emergency. Addressing the food is our first step in triaging their emergency, then we make critical connections for them with our community partners and their programs. Our relationships in the community and food support to hundreds of other agencies means we can work collaboratively towards solving the problem of food insecurity in Calgary. My daughter received a birthday bag! Thank you, what a beautiful surprise. I’m sure the bags are randomly picked but everything in there my daughter loved! She loves Minnie Mouse, there was a Minnie Mouse phone, she loves bubbles, she loves colouring and stickers they were in there. It was like it was hand picked and tailored for her, absolutely amazing, thank you again so much. You made a little girl very happy today!” – Food Bank Client
