卡尔加里送餐服务（Calgary Meals on Wheels）是一个非营利组织，创立于1965年，旨在支持病患或住院康复期间的年长人士提供食物支持。如今，送餐服务对卡尔加里教育局来说已不仅仅是如此。卡尔加里送餐服务坚信通过向有需要的所有人提供高质量、营养丰富的餐食来促进健康，包括许多卡尔加里教育局的学生。

自2000年以来，卡尔加里教育局和卡尔加里送餐服务一直合作解决被确定为食物不安全的学校的问题。卡尔加里送餐服务每周向面临营养不确定性的小学提供两次营养丰富的热汤午餐，学生和学校都不需要支付费用。热汤计划已经扩展到15所学校，去年为我们的学生提供了超过75,000份热午餐。

2016年，卡尔加里送餐服务扩展了他们的支持，成为阿尔伯塔政府在马尔伯勒学校的营养教育试点项目供应商。送餐服务的注册营养师创建了一份营养菜单，包括四个食物类别和多样性，并且每份成本低于3美元。送餐服务的工作人员与学生和员工持续合作，改善该计划，使其更具可持续性和可负担性。通过卡尔加里送餐服务和省政府提供的增加的资金，该计划今年已经扩大到3所全日制学校和3所兼职学校，并有可能在秋季新增其他学校。

卡尔加里送餐服务不断寻找支持孩子学习、变得更强壮并发挥他们全部潜力的方式。无论是与卡尔加里警察局在帕特里克·艾尔利学校开展项目合作，还是让马尔伯勒学校的学生参与创作“马尔伯勒秘密松饼”，送餐服务的工作旨在支持卡尔加里教育局为学生成功创造条件。

我们很荣幸能与卡尔加里送餐服务合作，共同实现每个学生的成功目标。我们知道当学生的基本需求得到满足时，他们更能够学习。
祝贺你们获得灯塔奖！

Calgary Meals on Wheels is a not-for-profit organization, which was established in 1965 in response to the need to support elderly people with food support during an illness or recovery from a hospital stay. Today Meals on Wheels is so much more, especially to the Calgary Board of Education.  Calgary Meals on Wheels believes in promoting health by providing quality, nutritious meals to all people in need, including many students of the Calgary Board of Education.

Since 2000, the Calgary Board of Education and Calgary Meals on Wheels have been working together to address food insecurities in identified schools. Twice a week Calgary Meals on Wheels delivers a nutritious hot soup lunch to elementary schools with students facing nutrition uncertainty at no cost to the students or the schools.  The Hot Soup Program has now grown to 15 schools, serving over 75 000 hot lunches to our students last year.

In 2016, Calgary Meals on Wheels expanded their support by becoming the provider for the Alberta Government’s School Nutrition Pilot Program at Marlborough School.  Registered dieticians at Meals on Wheels created nutritious menu offerings that include all four food groups and variety, at a cost of under $3 per serving.  Meals on Wheels staff continually work with students and staff to improve the program, making it more sustainable and affordable.  Through the collaborative efforts of Calgary Meals on Wheels and increased provincial government funding, the program has grown to 3 full time and 3 part time schools for this year, with the possibility of additional schools for the fall.

Calgary Meals on Wheels is constantly seeking ways to provide support that enables children to learn, feel stronger and reach their full potential.  Whether it is in collaborating with Calgary Police Services for programming at Patrick Airlie School, or engaging the students at Marlborough School in creating the “Marlborough Mystery Muffin”, the work of Meals on Wheels is about supporting CBE’s work in creating the conditions for success for our students. 

It is our honor to partner with Calgary Meals on Wheels in our goal to achieve success for each student.  We know when a student’s basic needs are met; they are more able to learn. 
Congratulations on your Lighthouse Award!
