As a born and raised Calgarian, I\u2019ve been familiar with the work done by Brown Bagging 4 Calgary\u2019s Kids (BB4CK) since I was a kid myself. Providing lunches to kids in need is the epitome of hope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kids who come to school without lunch usually have parents at home who haven\u2019t eaten a good meal in a few days. And those same kids don\u2019t want to be called out at school for not having a lunch, or have to take paperwork home so their parents can jump through hoops so they can eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On today\u2019s episode, Bethany Ross shares how BB4CK works tirelessly to bring people together \u2013 giving time, energy, resources and lots of heart \u2013 to ensure that kids who need food have access to it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I find particularly hopeful about the BB4CK program is that it\u2019s 100% funded by the community, which means that it\u2019s really easy for kids to access. And the program is for the kids and making sure that the food that\u2019s provided is what they want to eat and packaged in a way that doesn\u2019t call them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tune in to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.simplecast.com\/2332fd14-9a06-4eb5-97f2-cc487fbe6638?dark=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Bethany Ross:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bethany Ross has always been passionate about working with organizations that create opportunities for kids.
