We Scare Hunger

WE SCARE HUNGER!

NO ONE SHOULD GO HUNGRY, BUT IN CANADA 1 in 7 CHILDREN GO TO SCHOOL HUNGRY.  36% OF FOOD BANK USERS IN CANADA ARE CHILDREN AND YOUTH!

THIS HALLOWEEN, BE HUNGER HEROES

Take action this Halloween to collect non-perishable food items at school and in your community to help stop hunger before it strikes.

Starting on Tuesday October 15^th, the Me to We club will begin to collect non-perishable food items. We will continue to collect non-perishable food items until November 4^th. All food items will be donated to the Calgary food bank to help hungry Calgarians. 

Classroom Challenge: Which classroom can collect the most non-perishable items?

As teachers collect donated goods from students during October 15^th to November 4^th, they will tally the amount collected. The class to collect the most food items will have their class picture proudly displayed on the Me to We club’s Hall of Fame display case for everyone to see! 

  

Many food banks ask for the following non-perishable items:

• Rice
• Flour
• Pasta
• Canned fish and meat (Tuna, salmon, corned beef and chicken)
• Stew and soup
• Canned or dried beans
• Canned fruit and vegetables
• 100% fruit juice
• Canned or powdered milk
• Cereals
• Tomato sauce
• Peanut butter
• Baby products (formula, diapers, baby food)

  

Thanks for your support!
