This Holiday Season is a desperate struggle for four in 10 Calgary families. WINS is asking Calgarians to give the gift of hope this season through online donations, giving thrift, and volunteering. Hope for the Holidays empowers individuals to make an impact, big or small, and transform the lives of Calgary families this season of warmth and joy.
4 in 10 Calgary Families
can't afford to celebrate the way they used to
Generosity comes in many forms. That’s why we’ve created meaningful ways for you to make a real impact this holiday season, however you can. Whether it’s a heartfelt cash donation, a toy for a child, a handbag filled with essentials, giving your time through volunteering, or the heartfelt act of gifting thrift, your support transforms lives right here in Calgary.
Gift Rooms
In our Gift Rooms, we display a selection of new items suitable for ages 0 to 17 years old. It allows parents to choose gifts for their children and teenagers, all at no cost. Our Gift Rooms will open on December 19th, Thursday, and while we encourage donation drop-offs before that date, we deeply appreciate any contributions made at any time. Last year, thanks to your generosity, our Gift Rooms provided more than 300 moms with gifts for their children.
Handbags with Heart
Mothers deserve some Holiday lovin' too. Spread love this holiday season with a gift that gives back to mothers in need. Donate gently used handbags filled with brand new items (click the button below for a list of items). These contributions can be dropped off at our WINS Thrift Store locations.
Gift your time
By volunteering with us, you become an integral part of our mission to transform the holidays from a time of struggle into a season of hope and togetherness for all. Join the WINS family as a volunteer, and let's collectively create a holiday season filled with compassion, support, and a renewed sense of hope.
Gift Thrift
This holiday season, why not make a cool choice and shop sustainably? Thrifted gifts at WINS not only contribute to a greener planet but also offer the joy of discovering something truly unique for those on your gift list. And, if you want to make the spirit of giving more meaningful, you can also shop for WINS gift cards. Together, we can make this season extra special for both your loved ones and those in need.
You can contribute to our cause in your own way: by spreading the word about our mission. Share it with your friends, co-workers, and across your social networks - knowing that your contributions stay local in Calgary. By working hand in hand to increase awareness, we open more doors for those in need. Share our mission, champion our cause, and help us create a deeper and lasting impact, because...
together, everyone
