There ar local, regional, national and international charities by the score



As I researched the charities scene,I quickly realizes the enormity of this subject.

Let's have a brief look at just some of the Calgary charities you can help with either your money or your time, or both.

There are Religious Charities, Catholic, Jewish and so on...

Then there are specific charities for: Down Syndrome, Mental Illness, Hunger, Homelessness, Women in Need, Handicapped, Visually Impaired Children, Babies, Adolescents, and even Disabled Anglers(in the UK)

We have not looked at Refugees, Orphans, Natural Disasters Victims and so on.

Now you can add charities for Horses and Dogs and even Global Warming.

You can see the scope of Calgary charities and it's hard to know where to start, isn't it?

Calgary charities help with funding for: Food, Education, Clothing, Professional Help and Vocational Training etc

They help Street People,and Drug Addicts, and on it goes...

The charities also provide : Emergency housing, Street Clinics, Hospitals, Schools, Crisis Centers, Soup Kitchens, Holding Centers, Foster Care Programs and so on.

From this preamble, you'll see the difficulty in providing you with adequate information about Calgary charities, but what follows is a sample.

Everyone knows about the usual Calgary charities,such as The Salvation Army and The Red Cross.

One of these you'll probably know about and two others are not as well known, while the last one may be a bit of a surprise to see it as a charity.

Big Brothers and Big Sisters

This is a mentoring program that puts Calgary youth in contact with mentors and guides who can help them navigate a very difficult time in their lives.

As a mentor, you can work with a child who is struggling at home and or at school and help them gain valuable coping skills and life skills to better deal with their problems.

Essentially, you are helping them take their first steps towards independence.



Servants Anonymous Society of Calgary

The Servants Anonymous Society of Calgary (SAS) was formed in 1989 to address the issues of young women involved in or at risk of becoming involved in the sex trade.

Prostitution is not the only issue; so often it comes with homelessness, substance abuse and violence, and SAS takes a complete approach towards addressing these problems by transitioning these women back into society and into a healthy life.

The SAS will happily take donations, but it sorely needs volunteers.

To contact SAS directly, send an email to: info@servantsanon.com

Parent Support Association of Calgary

The mission of the Parent Support Association of Calgary (PSA) is to support families that are undergoing conflict between its members.

This program teaches problem-solving strategies, and teaches awareness of the problem and in doing so, hopes to prevent escalation.

The PSA proposes that all families should have the opportunity to live safely with access to community resources.

There are many programs available, like peer support groups for those with young children or teens.

To contact the PSA, email them directly at parentsu@psa.calgary.ab.ca
