How Does the GFB Operate?

The GFB operates by buying fresh top quality produce directly from farmers and from wholesale clubs. The food is bought in bulk and dropped off at our warehouse. Our volunteers then divide up the produce into portions and put the Good Food Boxes together. The boxes contain the maximum produce possible for the price.

Starting a Good Food Box Depot

We rely on our dedicated depots and volunteers to run the program. Currently we are expanding our program and are looking to reach all areas of Calgary. A depot can be any place where 5 or more boxes are ordered from. To become a depot, a one-page application form must be filled out and faxed or e-mailed into our office. The form can be obtained by phoning or e-mailing the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary or simply clicking below. A depot is responsible for collecting orders and payment from the community or clients they serve. The GFB is delivered once a month to the depots. An order form is sent into our office a week before the GFB arrives for the depot. There are schedules for different parts of the city for order and delivery dates.

How Much Work is Involved in Running a Depot?

A depot is responsible for collecting orders from community/clients, receiving payment for the boxes from those who ordered and having someone on location to receive boxes on delivery date.

Community Kitchens hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 8:00am - 4:00pm
