Safe Haven Foundation - Supper for Safe Haven
November and December | Anywhere!
Safe Haven Foundation is reigniting one of Calgary’s most meaningful community campaigns with the relaunch of Supper for Safe Haven. An initiative that unites restaurants, families and food lovers to make a difference for at-risk girls in Calgary. The campaign invites Calgarians to host or attend suppers at home, in restaurants or at workplaces all in support of Safe Haven Foundation’s vital housing, mentorship and education programs. Individuals are encouraged to host their own suppers by gathering friends, family or colleagues for a meaningful evening. Each host sets a donation goal for their guests, with 100% of proceeds going directly to Safe Haven Foundation. To make giving simple, hosts receive a personalized QR code for their guests to donate directly, transforming every table into a place of hope, connection and community change.
