Building a brighter future for Calgary’s most vulnerable men, women, youth, and children.
Working in the community of Forest Lawn, Hope Mission’s Calgary Hub primarily serves children, youth, and families. Our extensive preventative programs and services are designed to support and uplift the most vulnerable kids and families in Calgary.
Monthly community dinners bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and support. Additionally, our school meals program provides nutritious bagged lunches to local Calgary schools, delivering thousands of meals per month to children who might otherwise go hungry.
Through initiatives like Hope Closet, we provide essential clothing to families in need. Our after-school programs offer a safe and nurturing environment for children and youth to learn and grow, complete with snacks and supper. Just west of Calgary, we operate Camp Hope. This rustic outdoor experience gives kids the chance to connect with nature, build lasting friendships, and experience personal growth in a supportive environment.
"The community dinners are beautiful. What you do for the community and the kids is amazing."
Beyond our focus on children and families, we operate a Rescue Van that ventures into the inner city, providing critical resources such as food and clothing to those experiencing homelessness. This outreach is a lifeline for many, offering hope and essential support where it’s needed most.
Hope Mission is dedicated to transforming lives and bringing hope to those in need. Keep reading to learn more about our various Calgary locations and services.
