What a year! 

Thanks to President’s Choice Children’s Charities, BGCA helped to fill the bellies of over 1500 children and youth in Airdrie and area in 2024. 

A little taste of the fun we had… 

  • 30+ cooking programs 
  • 38 Tuesday Bread Days
  • Over 15,000 daily snacks fed and meals prepared 

None of this would be possible without the generous support of President’s Choice. 

THANK YOU!

Holiday Market Success

Posted on by admin

Another Holiday Market has come to pass, and we couldn’t be more proud. The spirit of the season could be felt as vendors from our community shared their talents and crafts with us. BGCA members and our friends and supporters throughout the community were able to complete some of their Christmas Shopping with unique and one of a kind gift options and to come together to share the holiday season.

In the Mrs. Claus Workshop, kids were treated to a chance to shop for that special someone in their lives in our kids only shopping zone. A fun way to buy mom, dad, grandma and grandpa, sister or brother a special surprise gift.

A warm thanks to all our sponsors, to those who came out, and our volunteers who make this event possible. We are grateful for your support!

Interested in learning how you can be a part of our next event?
Contact us today and we’ll get you all set up!
