Our journey of growth: reflections and the road ahead

Thanks to you, as I Can for Kids (iCAN) marks 10 years of empowering food-insecure children and families, we are filled with gratitude, pride, and renewed energy for the work ahead. What began as a conventional response to gaps in services for vulnerable children during the summer months has transformed into an innovative and evidence-based program that provides families dignified and immediate relief through grocery gift cards.

Calgary Herald Feature

I Can for Kids has been featured in the Calgary Herald’s Christmas Fund, highlighting the incredible work we do to address childhood food insecurity in our community. The article showcases how our innovative income-based model is making an impact by supporting thousands of food-insecure children and their families with dignity and choice. This is a proud moment for us, made possible by the unwavering support of our donors, agency partners, and volunteers.

Empowered by community support: a mother’s story of strength

On a sunny fall morning, Lily*, a single parent of three, shared her story, one that embodied both love for her children and an unimaginable hardship. In 2022, Lily was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer and was given only a few years to live. Despite the devastating diagnosis, her courage shines through. Her story is one of pain, struggle, and resilience.
