Their innovative research, compassionate care, and support for families make a lasting impact on countless young lives. It’s inspiring to contribute to a cause that offers hope and healing to children and their families during some of their most challenging times.”
Calgary Food Bank
“I’ve chosen to donate to the Calgary Food Bank this year because it’s a local charity that plays a vital role in supporting my fellow Calgarians. With the rising cost of living, more and more people are finding it difficult to make ends meet, and the demand for support has never been greater.”

“There's nothing like the feeling of being displaced. If we can make even a small impact, providing comfort for a day or even a few minutes to someone in need, it is an incredibly rewarding experience. The more support we share, the merrier and more hopeful our world becomes.”
Greater Vancouver Food Bank
“The food bank supports more than 15,000 families each month, and the need grows each year. They serve such an important function in the community and run entirely on donations.”

BC Women's Health Foundation
“I wanted to support the BC Women’s Health Foundation because of their work to improve the health of women and newborns in our community. I believe their research and programs are bringing differences in British Columbians' lives.”
