In a post on social media, the Stampeders posted their collaboration with the Calgary Food Bank, along with a \u201cwish-list\u201d of needed donations.<\/p>\n<p>According to the post, volunteers with the Calgary Food Bank make up 175 shifts a day, and account for almost half of the Calgary Food Bank workforce. The post also says that for every dollar donated, the Calgary Food Bank will be able to distribute $3.50 worth of food.<\/p>\n<p>With Calgary Food Bank usage up 100% in the last two years, the Stampeders also provided a list of most-needed donations. Donations can be brought right to the game on Monday!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-large wp-image-31396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/screenshot-2026-09-01-154834-1024x972.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"972\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Calgary Stampeders quarterback Vernon Adams throws the ball during the first of training camp in Calgary, Sunday, May&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194293],"tags":[901,49,2798,197326,48,4398,32918,29868,288575,196458,288574,5593,203616],"class_list":["post-880141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-calgary","tag-alberta","tag-ca","tag-calgary","tag-calgary-radio","tag-canada","tag-country-music","tag-indigenous","tag-lethbridge","tag-lethbridge-radio","tag-medicine-hat","tag-medicine-hat-radio","tag-south","tag-treaty-7"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
