Connecting Calgary Families with Essential Resources to Thrive

We focus on empowering families in our community by connecting them with the resources they need to thrive in Calgary.

We have been overwhelmed with the demand for assistance and we are happy to cater to the increasing need. We are proud to to announce that we have recently opened a new Community Resource Hub in Lincoln Park. In 2022, we gave out a total amount of $567,294 in free goods, and this year alone we have given away $400,000 - in just 6 months!

The Community Resource Hub is a place where people can come and get connected with services, find help, and support. At WINS, we want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to be included and thrive in Calgary.

WINS provides compassionate listening and guidance, access to supports, and referrals to women, men, and their families who may be facing barriers due to:

• Financial Challenges

• Leaving or currently in difficult situations

• Transitioning in Housing Needs

• Being a new arrival in Calgary

• Being a Single Parent

When you visit one of our Community Resource Hubs, you can get connected with our dedicated team and they would be able to help you with your needs. These includes emotional support, skills development, employment services, and goal support. We provide:

• Advocacy, Compassionate listening and guidance
