Community Free Food Pantry Program
In collaboration with the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary, and our Cambrian neighbors, Pathway Church offers a free food pantry that is available to all who are in need. Everyone in the community, regardless of faith, gender or race is welcome to come as often as they need.
How does it work?
In order to join the program, an intake interview (~30 mins) is required.
Once you join the program, you are granted 3 visits: once a month for three months.
​
Food pick-up appointments are 30 minutes long, and during that time you can shop on your own in our pantry! One of staff will show you how the room works when you come to visit!
​
In order to remain in the program, a reassessment interview is conducted every third month (March, June, September, December).
​
What do I need to get access to the food pantry?
In order to make sure we can help everyone as best as possible,
this program has a limited number of available spots.
​​
All we ask is that you reach out to us before you come to make an intake appointment via email or phone call (see below).
We do not ask for IDs, proof of income or payment.
​
If you would like to join but our spots are full, we may ask if you would like to be placed on our waitlist. We will get in touch with you following our reassessment dates.
​
What days are you open?
The food pantry is available via appointment once a month.
We are open two weeks each month, always on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. ​
We will let you know what days each month following your intake.​​
​
Where does the food come from?
This is a Food Rescue Program that rescues and distributes food such as canned goods, boxed foods, fresh produce and bread collected from the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank, Farmer's Market and local merchants that may have otherwise been thrown away. This collected food arrives at the Community Kitchen Program warehouse for distribution, where Pathway Church picks it up for stock in our Food Pantry.
​
Pathway also holds food drives where neighbors and church members donate goods or resources to stock the pantry!
Why does this program exist?
This program operates to help Calgary's families receive food they otherwise may not have been able to obtain on their own.
We hope to help not only with food, but by sharing resources available to all in the city.
​
How can I help?
We invite our community to come together as we seek to ensure that everyone in our neighborhood has access to food without worrying about tomorrow. We are always accepting donations for our Free Food Pantry!
