For Pita’s Sake - the Program

CFCN's Friends Helping Friends Campaign

Good Food prepared with PrideAnother one of Byblos Bakery's tremendous contributions to the Calgary community is through their school nutrition program. Almost 25 years ago, Byblos started introducing pita bread in school classrooms. By visiting classrooms and showing kids how to use pita bread to create a quick meal or snack, kids learned that pita could be a fun and healthy addition to their meal times.

The program, called “For Pita's Sake,” is still going strong. This program has been designed to teach healthy eating habits consistent with Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating and this fits in perfectly with the school health curriculum.   MORE...
 

"Byblos Bakery has a long standing tradition of being involved in the community and we are actually becoming more involved."

“As a Calgary company, we feel it is our responsibility to give back and assist where possible."

One of the ways in which Byblos gives back is in donations to a variety of causes around the city. Byblos recently committed $200 worth of product each day to the Calgary Inter-faith food Bank Society. A cheque presentation was made to the Society in the amount of $33,600 (in products) as part of CFCN's Friends Helping Friends Campaign.
