Located in Calgary, Alberta Canada, the organization invites members of the community to come together to show love and support for Calgary kids by baking Valentine\u2019s Day cookies for them! This cute cooking class helps the organization serve a special Valentine\u2019s Day lunch to the approximately 4,200 kids they provide lunches for each school day.<\/p>\n<p>For $25.00, event attendees make and decorate special heart-shaped cookies that help those served by this amazing organization! Brown Bagging for Calgary\u2019s Kids feeds thousands of kids each school day with an average cost of only $2.00 per lunch to make and deliver. They serve children of all ages from elementary to high school.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"499\" height=\"641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-2.png 499w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-2-234x300.png 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Brown Bagging for Calgary\u2019s Kids became an independent charitable organization in 2002. The organization relies on more than 600 volunteers to make and deliver lunches to 220 schools across Calgary. They provide both full lunches and supplemental additions to lunches for children who aren\u2019t getting adequate nutrition. They show their love for Calgary\u2019s public school children every school day. If you look at the organization\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/bb4ck.org\/\">website <\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BB4CK\/\">Facebook page<\/a>, you can see how much the kids who receive these lunches love them back. Their Facebook page is packed with messages of thanks from kids they\u2019ve served. Their website tells the stories of several people who benefited from this program.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12618 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-1.png 472w, https:\/\/www.qgiv.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Brown-Bagging-for-Calgarys-Kids-Picture-1-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At Qgiv, we love the dedication and love put into the school lunches made by volunteers and staff at Brown Bagging for Calgary\u2019s Kids.
