Episode

S5 E28: Helping Families Facing Food Insecurity with Community Kitchen Program of Calgary (PODCASTHON episode)

 

This special episode is in support of PODCASTHON – a global movement to raise awareness for charitable organizations!

 

In this episode, we welcome Lynn Gofflot from The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary. The Community Kitchen is the second largest food bank in Calgary, but they not only offer resources, they also offer support to individuals and families through education to empower them to change the poverty mindset, and take back some control in how they feed themselves and their families.

 

Through a number of innovative programs, The Community Kitchen helps teach individuals and families eat healthier while spending less on food. Their emphasis is on practical skills like budgeting, shopping and cooking, to help people facing food insecurity gain more control and self-reliance to one day move beyond needing these types of supports.

 

Learn more about The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary and how you can offer them your support.

The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary

The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary operates a self-empowering model to address the needs of marginalized Calgarians. They operate the second largest food bank in Calgary, Alberta Canada, but they not only offer resources, they also offer support to individuals and families through education to empower them to change the poverty mindset and take back some control in how they feed themselves and their families. They 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.
