Can we close a food bank?
Recently, the Calgary Food Bank has been asking a number of intriguing questions about the role it plays in the greater ecosystem of a community. We all know the basic function a food bank serves, but when we go beyond the food, we uncover a number of unique and interesting set of challenges ranging from logistics & supply chain, waste diversion, government policy, and organizational structures. These are not the typical questions or conversations one would expect when speaking to a food bank.
In 2015, Mount Royal University and the Calgary Food Bank signed an MOU to explore these together. Here’s your opportunity to get involved on the ground level, and explore possibilities of your own. In a World Café format, you’ll be introduced to these unique challenges, asked intriguing questions, and brainstorm potential areas for collaboration and intersection.
Join us on Thursday, March 24th at 12PM in EC 2010.
