Statement from Calgary Food Bank CEO Melissa From on the Alberta Energy Rebate Announcement.

"The Calgary Food Bank welcomes the new Alberta Energy Rebate as a positive step toward easing the financial pressures many Calgarians continue to face. Inflationary pressures, including fuel costs that have remained high due to oil price volatility, are among the most significant contributors to food insecurity for many of our clients. We serve more than 900 households per day from our main warehouse building and our Neoma branch; we anticipate that many of our clients will benefit from the Alberta Energy Rebate.

Food insecurity is fundamentally an affordability issue that transcends politics. We are grateful to see elected officials at every level of government across the political spectrum acknowledge these challenges and propose solutions that will provide some relief for Calgarians."

–Melissa From, CEO, Calgary Food Bank

It's dinner time with the Calgary Stampeders 🏈🍽️

We have a famous question we ask at the Calgary Food Bank: What's your favourite potato?

Potatoes are a staple in our Emergency Food Hampers because there are so many ways to enjoy them. Whether they're baked, mashed, roasted, or added to soups and stews, potatoes can create hearty, nourishing meals for families. That's why we were thrilled to have the Calgary Stampeders and Purolator join us yesterday to bag potatoes and help get groceries out the door to fellow Calgarians in need 💙

Want to help tackle hunger with us? Bring funds or a non-perishable food donation to the game on Saturday, June 20 💪🏈

Now settle the debate: What's the best potato? Tell us in the comments! 👇
