About Community Kitchen Program of Calgary
The
Community Kitchen Program of Calgary operates a self-empowering
model to address the needs of marginalized Calgarians. We have
continually evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of our
city, in response
to our deepening awareness and understanding of the complex issues
of poverty and hunger. We teach participants how to prepare
nutritious meals, budget their finances – making their income
stretch by preparing cost effective, healthy meals, as well as
providing a means to access nutritious food.
The programs we have built help adults, children and families to eat healthier, at a lower cost, learning how to cut the
grocery bills, and most importantly how to keep these healthy habits
throughout their lifetime.
We are not just giving a
'hand-out', but a 'hand-up'!
Children are the future, which is why we teach our next
generation about nutrition, smart grocery shopping, how to read a
food label, safety with knives, cross contamination, and even proper
etiquette. These children will obtain the information and
hopefully keep it with them as they grow, influencing the following
generations and in turn, lowering the hunger population in this
city.
Our aim is to
“Take A Bite out of Hunger”
