Local farmers are key to improving food security. Everyone deserves to Dine with Dignity™, we’re bridging the gap between producers and locals in need by providing holistic, equitable and sustainable access to food.@thewalrus https://t.co/ryFGVyJLvP #sustainability#foodsecurity
Thanks @CalgaryChamber for having us speak at the #cultivateagsummit. We had a wonderful time sharing our initiative with this fantastic group of innovators and leaders in the agriculture sector.
Last, but not least, Zai Mamdani, founder of @yycfoodsecurity shares "Our core belief is to empower people struggling with food security to choose fresh produce and develop a diet that aligns with their health needs."
Food bank usage was up 44% last year, says @Meaghon. When inflation rates are high and income supports stagnant, struggling Albertans go without many basic needs.

The @weareallkinCA pay-what-you-want markets is a timely solution to a rising challenge to food security in #yyc, with a new report from @VibrantCalgary showing Food Bank usage was up 44% in 2021.
"We really want people to feel empowered to just give whatever they can. There's no guilt, there's no shame... We understand, you know, everybody's circumstances look different."
Kindness in tough times. ❤️ #yyc https://t.co/sgWnEFa0Po
Today we are officially launching The Right to Eat Right, a new report prepared by @mountroyal4u's Institute for Community Prosperity (@CPMRU) that examines how #yyc can grow a more sustainable food system.

We're so proud to be supporting the @weareallkinCA pay-what-you-want market and café initiative. Congrats to everyone involved for such a fantastic launch!
Our official launch is today! Stop by Shawnessy YMCA @YMCA_Calgary between 8am and 3pm to learn more about the Pay-What-You-Want model, and grab some delicious coffee roasted by Motherlode Coffee and donuts from @ritualdoughnuts ☕🍩
A pay what you want cafe and grocery market is starting up on Jan 10! Such a great idea from @LeftoversYYC and @FreshRoutes@yycfoodsecurity @lourdesmjuan and a great home in @YMCA_Calgary for integrated service! The more people support, the more ppl get helped! #yyc#calgary
In response to the devastating impact COVID-19 has had on the hospitality industry, a new Calgary fund is creating opportunities for local restaurants and food producers to weather the financial storm facing Alberta’s food ecosystem.
