It’s time to get ready for school! For many kids & parents, this can be an exciting time, but for many families in our city, it is a time of stress as the expense of sending kids to school with the needed supplies can be very costly. Your generous donations will be given with dignity to families facing hardship.
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.
Every family deserves hygiene items. This is a basic need that sadly many families go without. Help us make a difference by providing these important items to struggling families. Your generous donations will be given with dignity to families facing hardship.
It’s time for some SUMMER FUN! Soon kids will be out of school for the summer, and Mommas will be even busier trying to take care of little ones and entertain the big ones! Let’s help some families out and let’s get some kids outside! This month we are collecting outdoor toys and indoor activities for kids, toddler through school age. Hit up Walmart for their playground balls, soccer balls, hula hoops, skipping ropes and bubbles. What do your kids love to play with? What keeps your toddlers happy when you’re spending time in the summer sun? And don’t forget some rainy day fun!
Every mother deserves to be celebrated on Mother’s Day!
Help us make a difference this Mother’s day by donating new items for our special momma gift bags! Your generous donations will be given to single moms facing hardship and those staying in shelters.
Did you know that in 2020, more than 1 in 5 Calgarians admitted they were struggling to easily buy food and groceries for themselves and their families? And the number of families who live with food insecurity on a regular basis continues to rise from 17% in 2017. Further, 43% of individuals who access Food Banks in Alberta are children.
There is nothing sweeter than the smell of a freshly bathed baby. Don’t you wish you could bottle that delicious scent?
February is the Month of LOVE, and Made by Momma is celebrating Baby LOVE!
Help us help underprivileged mothers and girls in need of a basic necessity: menstrual hygiene products.
For the month of January, we will be collecting all types of feminine hygiene products for the mothers we serve. It’s a fact that period poverty is a real thing. It’s a thing – right here in our city.
Lacking the funds to buy needed menstrual hygiene products is a challenge for many of the families we help. Can you imagine having to resort to using just toilet paper to manage your flow? How would that affect your ability to attend work or go to school?
It is in the words of Mayor Nenshi with “Clean Hands. Clear Heads. Open Hearts” that Made by Momma is navigating the novel coronavirus.
Oh where to begin our love letter to the amazing community of KIN…..
Well, truly it all starts with the Kinette Club of Calgary who completed a volunteer project for us, way back in June of 2012. Their group saw a need that we had and spent a weekend cooking up HUGE batches of Chicken Cattatorie for the families we help. There was a little bit of a disaster when the meals arrived….. but that’s another story….
