Supporting the community together
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 2024! If you’re in need or want to get involved and help, we’d love to hear from you. Here are a few ways we support single moms, seniors, widows, new immigrants and refugees, and those in financial need:
- School Partnerships: Serving local schools through food support, providing school supplies, and in-classroom help.
- Calgary Food Bank hampers: FAC Deerfoot is a referral agency and pick-up location for food hampers. If you need a referral to receive a food hamper, please get in touch with Michelle Peters. Pick-ups are on Mondays, 4:30-6:30 pm, and Saturdays, 9:30-11:00 am at the Deerfoot Campus in the new Community Support Centre near the Information Desk (12345 40 Street SE).
- English Conversation Classes: offered seasonally at the FAC Deerfoot Campus; please note the current Spring 2024 class is now FULL and no longer accepting registrations.
Getting to FAC Deerfoot Campus via Calgary Transit: Take bus route 302; stop #2657 SB 40 Street @ 122 Ave; stop #2656 NB 40 Street @ 122 Ave.

You can also drop your bottles off at the Deerfoot or Southwest Campuses on June 15/16!

Your refund will go directly to the short-term mission teams for Summer 2024.
