We're Still Here for You!
Youth Centres of Calgary is still VERY open for distribution of lunch packs, grocery items and other things that can help families thrive during this challenging time.
The grocery packs are made in a commercial kitchen and all food is very safe!
We occasionally have grocery store cards, sports equipment and books, so please ask!
We are “popping up” at other locations during the week. Each site is “once a week”, with the same stuff that we give in Ogden! See below for our locations and dates around Calgary communities.
