About the WAM Program: The Calgary Food Bank and Calgary Board of Education (CBE) have collaborated to put an end to hunger for food-insecure school-aged children. Weekends And More (WAM) was created as a hunger-prevention program to help children get the healthy, nutritious food they need. The program aims to fulfill the nu-tritional gap for school-aged children who may have inadequate access to food over the weekend. The WAM pro-gram has positively impacted the academics, social interactions and overall health of over 200 CBE students. You can help the WAM program and ensure hunger is not a barrier to learning.
