WINS - Women in Need - Hope for the Holidays

This Holiday Season is a desperate struggle for four in ten 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.

Inn From the Cold

Double Your Impact This Holiday Season and Win Big!
At Inn from the Cold, they see the struggles and resilience of families facing tough times. Your generosity this holiday season can ensure every family finds a warm place to stay, a nourishing meal, and the comfort of knowing they’re not alone.

With postal delays from the Canada Post strike, they are asking donors to give early online or by phone. To show their thanks, all online donations will be automatically entered into a draw to win a $500 gift certificate to Kananaskis Mountain Lodge.

Your support provides warm meals, safe shelter, and compassionate care, bringing hope and joy to families in need. Donate today to have twice the impact! All holiday contributions will be matched dollar for dollar by generous donors.
