To our valued Made by Momma supporters,
We want to wish you a heartfelt Happy Holidays and thank you for all of your support in 2017.
With your support we showed families in our city that they are not alone during challenging times. The families who came to us this past year had nowhere else to turn and we are grateful to everyone who helped us be there when their needs were greatest.
So what the heck is #GivingTuesday anyways?
#GivingTuesday is a global giving movement that has been built by individuals, families, organizations, businesses and communities in all around the world. Millions of people have come together to support and champion the causes they believe in and the communities in which they live.
Welcome to our Annual 12 Can Challenge!
This is a simple grassroots effort to help others in our community when they need it the most.
The holidays are most often a time to enjoy and celebrate with friends and family – but for many others it can be a time of loneliness, sadness and stress. This year the need is incredibly high and we hope that we can rely on our community to help us meet the needs of those struggling.
Jeepers Creepers! If you’re looking for something haunting to do this Halloween, please head over to “Chabby House” and have a tour of an over 100 year old abandoned house that is shrouded with mystery due to a real life cold case investigation! Chabby House is located at 153 Bridlecrest Manor S.W. Calgary, Alberta.
It is that time of year again!
Back to school frenzy, a slight chill in the air and a heavy dose of pumpkin spice everywhere you turn. That can only mean one thing….Made by Momma’s 8th Annual Dueling Pianos Charity FUNdraiser is just around the corner! Taking place on Thursday, November 9th 2017 at 6:30pm at Aussie Rules Foodhouse and Bar.
Made by Momma was honoured and ecstatic to be among the top 3 charities chosen by the CREB Charitable Foundation to receive an Investing in Hope grant. It was an extremely tough competition this year with an extensive application and vetting process. Made by Momma was among major inspiration and really felt like “the new kid on the block” making the top 3 with established charities Inn From the Cold and Kids Cancer Care Foundation of Alberta. What a feat for us at only 7 years old!! We came in third and were awarded a grant of $75,000!!! This money goes directly to supporting our clients to help with food security and baby essentials.
2016 was another incredibly busy year for our Made by Momma team! We experienced growth in many ways. We helped over 300 more families in 2016 than the previous year, our NICU Family Meals program has become fully integrated into the PLC and SHC hospital’s Neonatal and Intensive Care Units and The Happy Birthday Project hit the ground running, providing over 1000 birthday party packages to kids who would otherwise go without a celebration. We also had plenty of opportunities for community engagement and sharing our message.
We are so grateful to have been nominated, and SO excited to be in the final 3 for the 2017 #CREB #InvestingInHope campaign. This is an amazing opportunity to win much needed funding for our volunteer-run charity from the CREB Charitable Foundation!
What a day to celebrate being a Calgarian by getting to know our neighbours and supporters!
The event began with set up bright and early at 8am! Putting up tents and displaying the bake sale items. Setting up tables and chairs and tidying around the Resource Centre so that our neighbours and friends could come in and have a look at our brand new kitchen.
Looking for a summer job? Love giving back to the community? We’ve got exciting news! We’ve received another Canada Summer Jobs Program Grant to hire 3 fabulous Summer Students this year!
