⭐ This Stampede season, let's help stomp out hunger! ⭐

We are supporting the @calgaryfoodbank and our community with a gluten free food drive at Wendy T's Gluten Free Stampede Breakfast on July 5th. We would love if you could bring a non-perishable gf food item to drop in the donation boxes as you line up for your breakfast!

If you're not attending our Stampede Breakfast, no worries! Here are additional ways you can give:

💙 Donate gf non-perishable items directly to the Calgary Food Bank with a note that says 'save me for gluten free'
💙 Donate $$ to our campaign via QR code or visit: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/131048

The Calgary Food Bank is the first line of emergency food support for families and individuals facing crisis. At the best of times, gluten free food is more costly than its gluten-containing counterparts, often making it inaccessible to those who need it in the toughest times. By donating you are helping to provide the gluten-free and celiac community with emergency food support this summer.

CFB's Most Wanted Donation Items (Gluten Free Version):
💛 All Purpose or 1:1 Baking Flour
💛 Rice
💛 Dry Pasta
💛 Pasta Sauce (no glass jars)

Thank you for your support and happy Stampeding!🤠

🏃‍♀🏃‍♂We Did It! 🎉

A huge THANK YOU to our 14 incredible runners and walkers who represented the Calgary Celiac Association at this year’s Servus Calgary Marathon Charity Challenge!

Together, you raised an amazing $7,926.23 to support celiac education, advocacy, and community programming 💚

From 5Ks to full marathons, every step made a difference — and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you for going the distance with us!

In 2013, the Calgary Celiac Association renamed the annual Stampede breakfast event in memory of Wendy Turnbull, a long-time member with the Chapter, who passed suddenly on April 28th after being struck by a car while in a pedestrian crosswalk.

Wendy was always an active volunteer with the Calgary Chapter and happy to take on any task, including organizing the Stampede breakfast. She was infamous for bringing and sharing homemade treats with her fellow volunteers who had nothing but compliments to give her baking.

With the support of friends and family, and motivation from her fans, Wendy was able to finish writing and self-publish her cookbook, “Gems of Gluten-Free Baking.” After a successful year of touring Canada, visiting Celiac Conferences, and promoting her book, it was finally distributed by Whitecap Books Ltd., and Wendy became a best-selling author in 2011.

Wendy’s legacy of love lives on through her children and grandchildren, through the friends that knew and cherished her, through her best-selling cookbook, and through Wendy T’s Gluten Free Stampede Breakfast. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the stepping stones laid before us, so thank you Wendy for playing an integral part in bringing our community together each summer to celebrate Stampede, pancakes, and gluten free goodness. 💙💛
