The grocery gift card approach gains momentum and credibility

Like everybody else, those of us at I Can for Kids (iCAN) recognize the comfort and security of traditions. Familiar practices feel easy, safe, and reassuring. Yet there are major risks if our society relies blindly on the comfort of longstanding approaches to major social and health issues. When it comes to empowering households who lack the income to buy enough food, iCAN realized how more than forty years of traditional food programming had fallen significantly short. That’s why in 2020, we took advantage of the global pandemic to implement and study a rapid and innovative change to our response to food insecurity.

Behind the scenes at iCAN

Big things happen in small spaces! From a 20,000 sq. ft. warehouse of food to a tiny corner office in Calgary, we’ve transformed how thousands of food-insecure children and families access healthy food—one grocery gift card at a time.
