Custom Gear: Brown Bagging For Calgary Kids - More Than A Lunch
We recently teamed up with the amazing team over at Brown Bagging For Calgary Kids (BB4CK). With the help of over 600 volunteers weekly making and delivering the lunches and with the generous donations from individuals and companies, Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids feeds healthy lunches to over 4,400 hungry kids in over 220 schools every school day in Calgary.
They wanted to showcase that they are more than just lunches but how they are building community and bringing people together. Whether its a hungry child in need knowing that there is a whole team of people out there that care about them or the volunteers who spend their early mornings making sandwiches or delivering lunches to schools. Everything they do goes back to the people who make up the community.
Connecting and inspiring people to take meaningful action to feed and care for kids is their mission and we wanted to create a Made in Canada sweater that represented their core values and people. We asked the BB4CK for a few words that best describe the organization and the people in it and they came up with "Head, Heart, Community, Inspire, Caring and Hands". We got our local designer, Erin Lawrence, to create these unique design for them to help share this store.
To help spread the word we enlisted some local members of the community who give back and know how important it is to achieve the goal of No Hungry Kids.
