Teacher Food Pantry // COMING SOON

We are in the process of creating a food pantry at the Local Strike Centre for any teacher in the Calgary area who might wish to access it. We know that this time can be difficult for some members. If you have the capacity to donate so that we can stock the pantry, or wish to pass along the donation link to others, there are two ways to donate:

Interac e-transfer
Send e-transfer donations to:

📧 accounting@ataloc55.ab.ca 
Credit Card Donations

Individuals can donate by credit card through the Zeffy campaign site.

100% of all donations will go towards purchasing groceries and essential items to stock a food pantry that can be accessed by any teacher in the Calgary area, including members from Calgary Board of Education, Calgary Catholic Schools, Rocky View Schools, Palliser Schools, Christ the Redeemer, and FrancoSud.

Together, we are stronger — thank you for standing together during this time.
