Children who eat
regular, healthy
meals do better in
school and are sick less.

Send an extra fruit, snack or juice box with your child to school.

Almost 30,000 children
and youth in Calgary
go hungry while in
school.

Drop off a case of juice boxes at your local school.

There are many
reasons why children
arrive at school hungry,
but the result is the same.

Talk to your kids' teachers; a problem in the classroom may be the sign of an underfed child.

Just $0.50 will make
one lunch for a hungry
child in Calgary

Purchase a one-of-a-kind lunch bag on October 25th.

Over 2,400 lunches
are distributed weekly
to children and youth
in Calgary.

Donate fruits and vegetables to Brown Bagging's kitchen.

There are innumerable,
unimagined solutions
to child hunger.

Volunteer with Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids. Contact Angela Brown at: angela@brownbaggingit.org

The best way for children
to learn is by watching
their parent's actions.

Talk with your kids about what your family can do for those less fortunate around you.

It's never too early to
start developing
strong, life-long habits.

Make it a family project
to do one activity a
month that helps someone in your neighbourhood, in your community, or in your kids'school.
