IC4K Selected by the Calgary Herald Christmas Fund

Dec 2, 2019

I Can for Kids chosen as a 2019 Christmas Fund participant

A signature campaign in our city during the holiday season, I Can for Kids is excited to be participating in the 2019 Calgary Herald Christmas Fund campaign.  Steeped in tradition in Calgary, over the past 28 years the Christmas Fund has raised millions of dollars for a variety of worth causes, making a deep and lasting impact in the community.

Kids are full of hope.  Hunger holds them back.

The holiday season brings out the best in Calgarians.  As we prepare for our biggest and busiest summer yet, we’re counting on the generosity of the community to help us feed as many kids as possible.

Every donation stays in Calgary, helping thousands of hungry kids in more than 50 communities across the city get the nutritional support they need to learn, play and grow over the summer break.

Your support makes all the difference.

Donate today and give the gift of a happy, healthy summer to a hungry child in Calgary.
