Good Food Box

NHCA as you know is a depot for the Good Food Box. We have handed out 84 boxes of food from the community centre to interested households since our inception in July 2025. It’s great so many residents are taking advantage of fresh produce and fruit for a minimal cost. There are no orders available for December and when the new schedule comes out for Good Food Boxes, we will definitely inform you through the website: https://northhavenyyc.ca/commfood-goodfoodbox.

Fresh Produce Thursdays

What a great community endeavour the community garden was this year. Supplying a top up on the Good Food Box pick up days as well as getting the community involved in sharing from their own garden to give to others has been so heartfelt. We have a volunteer team of four people to do a community food initiative flyer, focusing on the community garden. Flyers to be delivered to multiple housing units with no gardening space. Please keep an eye out for this and sign up if you want to garden at the NHCA Community Garden spring of 2026!

Calgary Food Bank Donations

Thank you all who brought non-perishable food donations to NHCA community events! The Calgary Food Bank is always so grateful for the donations. With Christmas coming here is a list of what the Calgary Food Bank needs all year-round: https://www.calgaryfoodbank.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Calgary-Food-Bank-Wish-List.pdf.
