Community Kitchen
The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary operates a self-empowering model to support marginalized Calgarians. Over the years, we have evolved to meet the changing needs of our city, guided by a growing understanding of the complex challenges surrounding poverty and hunger.
Through hands-on education, we teach participants how to prepare nutritious meals, manage their budgets, and stretch their income by creating cost-effective, healthy food options—while also improving access to nutritious food.
Their Programs
Our Philosophy
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 information and hopefully keep it with them as they grow, influencing the following generations and in turn, lowering the hunger population in this city.
