We're excited to announce that we launched the BB4CK Family Grocery Card Program (FGC) - Moving Forward Together last October to support Calgary families experiencing food insecurity. This initiative, built on the learnings from our most recent grocery card pilot program, provides enrolled families with grocery cards each month, to help ease food costs, and create meaningful connections. We're just beginning this journey; there's so much more to share. Click to read the full story about the Family Grocery Card Program.
