Auburn Bay School is partnering with
the Calgary Food Bank once again this October to help fight hunger in our
community.
We Scare Hunger is made possible
with the support of Help Hunger Disappear®, Campbell Canada’s national
hunger awareness and food drive program. Since 2008, Help Hunger Disappear®
reminds us that we can all play a part in helping the more than 900,000
Canadians who rely on their local food banks every month.
The Auburn Bay School We Scare
Hunger Campaign officially begins Tuesday, October 1st and will end
October 31st. We invite you to be a part of the change our students
are working hard to create. Students have been asked to bring in food bank
items throughout the next month. Last year we brought in 1720 pounds of food.
This year, our school goal is to collect 1800 pounds of food!
To give you an idea of how much food
that is, the average family of 4 people receive an estimated 125 pounds
worth of food, filling approximately 2 grocery carts per family. So, if we
divvy up the 1720 pounds worth of food collected last year, this amount
supported about 14 families, filling 28 grocery carts with food. (Calgary Food
Bank) The Calgary Food Bank Wish List can be found here https://www.calgaryfoodbank.com/wishlist/ Please only send non-perishable donation
items.
Together we can make a difference.
Thank You,
Auburn Bay School
