The Community Kitchen Program of Calgary programs help adults, children and families to eat healthier, at a lower cost, teaching them how to prepare nutritious meals, budget their finances making their income stretch and most importantly how to keep these healthy habits throughout their lifetime.

"We want the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary to be a household name in which Calgarians think of when considering who to donate and support in this city. Feeding the Economic Pipeline with Steve Forbes and Jeff Rubin is an opportunity to raise awareness of the services provided by Community Kitchen Program of Calgary to the one in ten Calgarians who are food deficient and to raise sufficient funds to ensure these services are provided on a sustainable basis", stated Marilyn Gunn, CEO & Founder of the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary. She adds that the number of Calgarians living in poverty and hunger is directly related to economic conditions. Job loss, growing unemployment, increased living costs and other factors impact the number of Calgarians needing help. The importance of understanding current and future economic conditions is imperative to preparing for and meeting ongoing needs in the community.
