Calgary Food Bank annual food drive celebrates 20 years on Saturday

On Saturday morning, Calgary Food Bank volunteers will go door-to-door in the city for the 20th consecutive year to collect non-perishable food donations.

The annual city-wide food drive is the Calgary Food Bank’s biggest of the year, and one of the largest food drives across the country. “We do our best to collect food from every door stop in our city,” said Melissa From, president and CEO of Calgary Food Bank. In a typical year, the September food drive will generate around half a million pounds of food.
