$100,000 is an amazing gift for our organization and our families. Here are a few of the ways that the Inn from the Cold has been able to bring hope to Calgary's less fortunate:

"IFTC has helped me to regain control over my life by giving me support and encouragement through a difficult time. They offered me a wide variety of assistance with parenting and housing resources. It made all the difference."

"The people from Inn from the Cold rock, especially the workers. They helped me find resources and I found this super helpful."

"The Inn gave me a roof over my head when I had no where else to go. I came from an abusive situation and trying to rise above that seemed impossible. They went above and beyond my basic needs, and met me where I was at. Without them I'm not sure I'd be able to wake up with a smile."

"It gave me and my daughter a roof over our heads, and food in our stomachs. I get alot of reassurance that once we leave the shelter and find housing, the support team won’t say ‘here is housing see you later’ it is ‘how can we continue to keep helping Inn from the Cold really helped with providing awesome and educational programs that help me stay sober."

 

Change Matters
Inn from the Cold would like to invite you to be part of our “Change Matters” fundraising campaign that is raising money to end homelessness in Calgary. The campaign takes place September 13 – 30, 2010 and carries the simple message that any donation, from one cent and upwards, will bring us one step closer to achieving our vision of “a community where no family is homeless”.
 
During the campaign, schools, clubs, retailers and the faith community are invited to donate their spare change via the coin receptacles provided by Inn from the Cold. On Saturday, October 2, 2010 we will tally the money raised at our weigh INN event at Southcentre. Cash Your Coin  will be on site counting each and every donation made toward this incredible campaign.
 
As well, Southcentre’s centre court will be host an Inn from the Cold mock shelter from September 25 – October 2 to help raise awareness about how the Inn assists homeless  families in finding the help and hope they need to move into housing. The shelter, generously biult by Talisman Homes,  is a replica of one of the Inn’s emergency family shelter sleeping quarters in the downtown shelter.
 
 Please join us in this positive community movement that will have a direct impact on ending family homelessness in Calgary. We deeply appreciate your on-going support, generosity and desire to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
For more information about how your community school can be involved, please email fundraising@innfromthecold.org.
