Supporting the community

Together, let’s look for ways to join Jesus in sharing His love and hope in practical ways through local partnerships and volunteer teams in 2025! We’d love to hear from you whether you need help or want to help others.

Christmas Giving Trees

Thank you for your generous donations. Your gifts are now being distributed through our Calgary partnerships to those who need help the most this season. Here are a few other ways you can be part of supporting single moms, seniors, widows, new immigrants and refugees, and those in financial need on an ongoing basis with FAC:

Pick-ups are at the Deerfoot Campus in the new Community Support Centre near the Information Desk (12345 40 Street SE):
    • Mondays, 4:30-6:30 pm
    • Saturdays, 9:30-11:00 am
    • Please note the Food Bank will be CLOSED from December 24-January 5

Testimonial

"I am writing to thank you for your generosity and kindness. My daughter and I are currently staying in the room you sponsor at the Sonshine House. We are going through a very challenging time, and the love and support we have received while being a part of this program has been incredible. Thank you so much for being there for us, and for making our transition from our old home to here so much easier than I thought it would be."
