Hunger makes it hard for them to focus and incredibly challenging to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff; color: #2a6496; text-decoration: underline; outline: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/boy_lunch_cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-795 alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 0px;\" alt=\"boy_lunch_cropped\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/boy_lunch_cropped.jpg\" width=\"209\" height=\"176\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571429;\">Recently, a student at a junior high school came up to a BB4CK staff member\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571429;\">and wanted her to know how much it meant that we provided him with a lunch each day. Without it, he said, he would not be attending school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571429;\">He wasn\u2019t exaggerating. <strong>A teacher confirmed she hadn\u2019t thought he would make it past the first year of junior high. He\u2019s now in his last year.<\/strong> Without much to eat at home, the promise of a healthy lunch waiting at school was enough to keep him in class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\">Our lunches are available to any young person who would otherwise go without.<\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\"> Thanks to our amazing volunteers and in-kind partners, each lunch costs only $1 to make \u2013 a small amount that can change a student\u2019s future. So when an individual or corporation makes a donation of any size, the impact is easy to calculate and the effect is immediate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/sandwiches.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-794\" alt=\"sandwiches made by volunteers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/sandwiches.jpg\" width=\"750\" height=\"423\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571429;\">Donations are essential for the work we do, but awareness is just as important.\u00a0 We need people to know that there is a problem and tell others about it. We need as many people as possible to understand that children are going without food every day in our city. Once people are aware of the problem, they can help us work towards a solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.428571429;\">Brown Bagging for Calgary\u2019s Kids has one goal: no hungry kids in Calgary.
