Calgary Food Bank

On the ninth day of Christmas, Sandra Muzia, our Senior Investment Associate, nominated the Calgary Food Bank.

Why? “The Calgary Food Bank has a far reaching and positive impact in our community,” said Sandra. “The realization that there are individuals and families in my own city, and perhaps even my neighbours who struggle to put nutritious meals on their tables resonates with me.”

“The Calgary Food Bank plays a crucial role in alleviating hunger and provides meaningful support for those in need. It is community-owned and community-supported. Volunteers work diligently and tirelessly to ensure that every person that needs access to food will get the help they need not only during the holiday season when the demand is so high, but throughout the entire year. The Calgary Food bank also promotes a strong sense of belonging and compassion as they strive towards a hunger-free community.”

Please follow along on our LinkedIn page and our website as we highlight a new charity every business day until December 22^nd.

From the entire team at the Baun & Pate Investment Group, we wish you and your family a very Happy Holiday Season and Prosperous New Year.
