July 4th – July 14th Round up 10 CANs (or more!) of our most needed non-perishables over the 10 days of Stampede!
Welcome to the Made by Momma 10 CAN Roundup! This is a simple grassroots effort to help others in our community when they need it the most. It has been a very challenging year for so many families, the demand for our services is at an all-time high, and our community pantry cupboards are bare. The Calgary Stampede is most often a time to whoop-it-up and enjoy the fun with friends and family – but for others, it can be a time of loneliness, sadness and stress if they are facing situations of adversity and crisis. We know it takes a village and together we can make a difference to these families.
The challenge is simple; collect 10 CANS for those that can’t!
1. Over the 10 days of Stampede we challenge you to collect/purchase and donate 10 needed non-perishable items for Made by Momma! It could be a CAN of food or something else that is non-perishable. (see the suggested list below) 2. Drop them off at the Made by Momma Resource Centre where they will be packed into hampers and/or used to prepare healthy freezer meals for our clients. 3. Invite as many of your friends to this event as you CAN! Get your friends and neighbours together, share with your service club, church and co-workers, get your kids & family involved – it is never too early nor too late to teach your kids kindness! 4. SHARE this event! Social media can make miracles happen!
How many CANs CAN we collect? We’ll keep track and keep this page up to date! Feel free to post photos of the CANs you have collected to inspire everyone! Please join our 10 CAN roundup challenge – it’s simple and easy to do; we have so many families that will greatly appreciate any and all donations. Remember, together we CAN make a difference! Let’s change someone’s life – right here; right now! Message us for a poster and set up a donation box to place wherever you are collecting your CANs!
Get Social & share a photo with us, and drop off your CANs to our resource centre by July 19th, 2024.

Have you heard? We’ve got an amazing urban farm on the roof of Southcentre Mall! And we need your help to keep it growing!
This spring & summer, we will once again be growing fresh vegetables, herbs & fruit, and running a beehive program in support of our Made by Momma food programs.
Together with @southcentremall and @microhabitat.ca we are repurposing unused rooftop space to create a sustainable, local solution to contribute to the increasing demand for fresh, nutritious sources of food for Calgarians in need.
Canada does not have a food shortage problem – but we do have problem getting food into the hands of those who need it most! Single mothers are among the most vulnerable to food insecurity and that challenge is increased for Indigenous and racialized families.
Families in our community need our help more than ever! In just the first six weeks of 2024, 611 families have reached out for support with basic needs during times of adversity or crisis.
A continuous supply of healthy ingredients is needed to prepare the thousands of servings of meals for these families.
And this is where you come in. With your support, the funds raised through this campaign will help ensure that we have fresh produce to use in our healthy freezer meals and hampers, which nourish families when they need it most!
We need your help to make an impact where it’s needed most! Please consider supporting this important project. Financial Sponsorship with recognition opportunities start at $1,000

Have you heard? We are taking over our little corner in West Hillhurst! We now have two buildings and are working towards our Kitchen Expansion and Relocation Project. This project includes a much-needed walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer, more islands and prep space, more ovens, another cooktop all of which will allow us to feed more families facing food insecurity, crisis and adversity.
Help us celebrate National Family Literacy by purchasing and donating a new book to be gifted to the families we are supporting through challenging times.
New books are gifted to children on their birthday, mothers living in shelters on their birthdays as well as given as Christmas Gifts for the families we help over the holidays.
Winter is coming! We won’t mention the “S Word”, but it sure is starting to get cold out there, and this Winter is predicted to be colder than average.

Introducing our September Donation Drive!
We’re going Back to Basics this month, and collecting NEW socks and underwear for everyone in the family! Many of the families that Made by Momma support are in financial crisis. Others have escaped threatening living situations with only their clothes on their back. And still others, who are in medical adversity don’t have the time or resources to pick up the Bare Essentials.
SWITCH WITCH! 
Are you trying to cut down on your kids’ treats from Halloween?
