Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids

Hi Everyone!

I have some exciting news, as of today Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids [Website Link | Twitter Link] has been selected as the Charity Calgary Twestival will support. This means all revenue from the event and any sponsorships will flow into helping kids in Calgary.

What does Brownbagging do?

They help feed children in need at school by providing free lunches. Think about what that would me to a child who is hungry for whatever reason and some kind volunteer offered them food to sit and eat with their friends. How would that change your life experience?

Joanne’s Story

“Having hungry kids in Calgary schools is both shocking and unacceptable. To prepare and extra lunch for a child in need, is an easy  short term solution. We need to think collectively when it comes to caring for all of Calgary’s Kids. When we raised awareness about child hunger through our Paper Bag Princess campaign, parents, teachers and children responded with amazing understanding and commitment.” – Joanne

Every day, thousands of kids go hungry in Calgary. Lack of proper nutrition leads to decreased concentration in school, poor health, lack of attention and reduced academic performance.

Their future is our future. Make it your problem.

Do you have a brownbagging story? If so we would love to hear it!
