Calgary John Howard Society
They have partnered with the Calgary Food Bank since 2010 and offer a wide range of programs for men, women, youth and adults. A big part of how they serve their clients is by making sure that basic needs are met, to help achieve this they take advantage of a few of our programs including Food Link.
