DID YOU KNOW?

The Reality

Did you know that 344,165 Calgary women live below the poverty line and 73% of the city’s female-led, single parent households are food insecure?

Poverty in Calgary is growing, leaving many without access to basic needs like food, housing, and stability. Women, children, and vulnerable families are hit the hardest—turning everyday struggles into overwhelming challenges.

The Struggle

The human body cannot function optimally without its most basic needs being met. When a woman is uncertain about how she will feed her children, her focus is narrowed to immediate survival. Without access to food and other essentials, individuals cannot maintain stability or build toward long-term growth, moving from thriving to simply surviving.

The Need

Alleviating a woman’s anxiety over how to obtain basic needs for herself and her family is an essential first step in supporting her journey to rise—and remain—above the poverty line. Demand for basic-need support continues to grow in Calgary, and we must come together to ensure that WINS can continue helping women and families build a better future for themselves and their children.
