Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
Late last night we had someone phone us at 11:45pm. It was from a mom of 4 who herself had not eaten nothing 3 days just so she could make the food she did have last for her children.
This mom had gone to the food bank and gone to the brown bagging for kids as well has utilized the free meals that are handed out throughout the city.
This is a mom who has tried EVERYTHING to find a job and get help from different organizations and the government.

She went to Alberta Works and was told she had to go after the dad for child support before they could help her. They gave her papers on how to contact maintenance enforcement and how to go to court for child support. That’s great but that doesn’t help her now....
We need your help. We have loads of people asking us for help due to the following:
-Job Loss
-Cant Pay Rent

Having to choose between Food and any of the above items should not happen and isnt right.
Simply giving someone, a family, a couple, a senior food security for even just a month...takes immense stress off of a person.

That’s why there are great organizations and groups like the @CalgaryFoodBank & @HarvestHillsYYC
Everyone works together and does what they need to do for the city that we all care about so much.

If anyone can help, we would be very grateful. We are seeing even more of an increase in requests due to CERB ending and transitioning over to EI. (Which many do not qualify for, yet we hope help in any form arrives soon)

Speaking bluntly here: We have seen an dramatic increase in requests for help/assistance due to:
1.) CERB ending and “Transitioning” individuals over to EI. Only problem is many Albertans will not qualify.
With CERB ending and many of the 4million plus people not being able to qualify for EI, we will see a lot of problems happening for Albertans.

2.) With the recent changes to AISH and Alberta Works, many are left feeling bewildered and scared.
Many have had their peace of mind taken from them by having things like aides to daily living & medications that were once covered, but aren’t covered anymore just to name a few
