Food insecurity is a daily struggle for many folks experiencing homelessness. A sandwich is portable, nutritious, and ready-to-eat! 

Your volunteer efforts will assist in supporting our most vulnerable Calgarians with a nutritious meal to help prevent serious health issues and malnutrition.  

We welcome members of the community to help serve lunch on weekends at the Emergency Shelter.

Don't forget to bring along a copy of your confirmation email to present to the security.
