On November 2, 2025, the Rotary Club of Calgary West participated in its 11th annual volunteer shift with Feed the Hungry from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., led by Steve Strang. Club members, partners and guests joined in a full day of service to support Feed the Hungry’s weekly Sunday meal program — helping to prepare, serve and clean-up for the many Calgarians in need of food and community. This work aligns with our Club’s mission to serve with dignity, respect and commitment.

On Sunday, November 2, 2025, the Rotary Club of Calgary West once again rolled up its sleeves in service, taking part in its 11th consecutive year volunteering with Feed the Hungry. The event ran from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and was organized once more by Club member Steve Strang, who coordinated the participation of a large number of Club members, partners and guests.

Volunteers gathered early in the morning and spent the day assisting in the many roles required to deliver a hot sit-down meal, a safe and welcoming environment, and to support Calgary residents facing food insecurity. The program, operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Calgary, has been providing a Sunday-style meal in an atmosphere of community, warmth, safety, dignity and respect for over 25 years.

Feed the Hungry serves hundreds of guests each week, offering both a hot meal and a hamper to-go option. During our volunteer shift, Club members contributed to hall set-up, plating, table service, beverage and dessert stations, guest hospitality, recycling and clean-up—following the roles laid out by the program’s volunteer sign-up system. 

Through the morning and afternoon, Club members and guests connected with volunteers from other community organizations and greater Calgary, sharing in fellowship even as they served those in need. The event re-affirmed the Rotary Club’s long-standing commitment to service above self, and to building stronger communities through acting together.

At the close of the day, many members reflected on how the simple act of sharing a meal can offer more than nourishment—it can offer hope, dignity and belonging. Because as Feed the Hungry states: “we offer more than a meal: we offer a ministry of hope and belonging.”
