Prairie Grid
Hosted by Eat North, this pop up dinner series spanned 3 provinces and showcased prairie grown produce. It was a great fit for us to connect some of our partners and we look forward to being involved in coming years.
Cookie Exchange
In 2018 we took part in the Great Calgary Cookie exchange which raised funds for The Magic of Christmas through Global TV’s Morning of Giving. The delicious ginger cookies were made by Pie Junkie.
Gravy Bowl
Oh my curd! Can you think of a better way to eat potatoes?? We teamed up with Poutine With Purpose to sponsor the Gravy Bowl which is a fundraiser that supports Mealshare. We plan to become more involved in the full event with product sponsorship for alllll those poutines.
Toms Kids
Every year a bursary is awarded to a local school to implement healthy eating programs. We receive nomination from the schools themselves and from Community Kitchen Program, who are in the schools teaching the Souper Stars program, which we help fund.
Radiothon
The Alberta Children’s Hospital is a very important organization to the Calgary PMA. Throughout the year we support them with our events as well as sending a team to work the phones during the Country 105 Caring for Kids Radiothon
Good Food Box
In May, the Calgary PMA board had a chance to tour the facility at Community Kitchen Program and help pack 600 Good Food Boxes, which is one of the many programs they offer to Calgarians in an effort to increase food security.
Charity Partners
All Calgary PMA events throughout the year fund programming for our charity partners at The Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation and Community Kitchen Program of Calgary. 2019 saw the Calgary PMA get more involved with another great charity who’s aim is to end youth hunger. We look forward to doing more with Mealshare in 2020.
