The Neighbourhood Monthly Donor Program 

The Neighbourhood is a community of passionate and informed people who give monthly to Calgary Homeless Foundation to support the fight against homelessness.

Giving monthly is simple and flexible:

  • Simple: donations are automated and by credit card. Simply choose an amount you are comfortable with and the date (1st or 15th of the month), and we do the rest.
  • Less paperwork: you don’t need to keep track of multiple charitable tax receipts. We will issue a single tax receipt in February for the total you donated in the previous year.

As a member of The Neighbourhood, you can also sign up for our exclusive newsletter and get the inside scoop on how your gift is changing lives.

Join The Neighbourhood and learn about the impact of your gift.

Alpha House accepts clothing, and in particular, new socks, underwear and towels.

Furniture and Clothing

The Mustard Seed, the Calgary Drop-In Centre, and the Calgary Dream Centre are seeking both furniture and clothing as part of their lists of urgently needed items.

I would like to volunteer my time instead of giving a donation. Where can I go?

The volunteer needs of agencies and charities change regularly based on their activities and needs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The easiest way to discover if your favourite charities or agencies are enlisting volunteers is to check their websites.

Not sure where to begin? Please visit Calgary Chamber of Voluntary Organizations for more information.

I see or know someone who is at risk of experiencing homelessness. What can I do to help?

Direct them to our Need Help? page for more information. Or you can visit What Else Can You Do? for a list of small, but meaningful ways to help.

Have any other questions? Please e-mail us at fundraising@calgaryhomeless.com.
