Help us deliver critical winter supplies to people experiencing homelessness during Calgary’s coldest months.

Donate Essentials
When temperatures drop, basic items like hand warmers, toques, gloves, socks, water, and snacks help people stay warm, dry, and safe.
Last winter, outreach teams distributed over 102,000 essential items through Calgary’s Extreme Weather Response program, a city-wide effort to protect people from extreme cold.

This year, we’re preparing for another season of extreme cold and we need your help.
Your donation today goes directly toward purchasing essential items that help prevent frostbite, dehydration, and other serious risks that come with being outside in the cold for too long.
Every dollar goes directly to the Calgary Drop-In Centre, where outreach teams get these supplies into the hands of those who need them most.
Together, we can make sure no one is left out in the cold.
