Working Homeless Lunch Program
What is the Bag Lunch Program?
Calgary Meals on Wheels provides a sandwich and a sweet for the working homeless to add to their lunch bag, ensuring that these individuals have the sustenance to complete a day's work.
To assist in fostering independence, workers at the Calgary Drop-In Centre assemble their own bag lunches from the sandwiches and baking supplied by Calgary Meals on Wheels.
In 2008, 218 lunches were provided per day, for a total of 54,216 lunches.
This program is a joint venture with the Calgary Drop-In Centre. The cost is subsidized by Calgary Meals on Wheels and the United Way of Calgary & Area.
