This program provides gifts and a one week supply of food to (referred) families in need in Calgary during the Christmas season. We prepare fifty plus hampers by early December. The families must be referred to us for security and tracking reasons. Families are referred from a SE health care clinic, who receives names from schools in the area. You are welcome to participate in many ways!

The Calgary Drop-in & Rehab Centre helps individuals after all other avenues of help and hope have been lost. Once here, trained counsellors and staff help provide treatment, guidance, food, clothing and a temporary bed as needed. McDougall's Ladies Fellowship group gathers, twice monthly, to make sandwiches and deliver them to the drop-in centre. Website: http://www.thedi.ca

This project strives to collect specific school supplies for children in third world countries. Without these bags, many children would not go to school. In partnership with the Mennonite Central Committee and Ten Thousand Villages, McDougall contributes to this fall program. In each bag is a list of specific supplies needed, it is important to only include what's on the list so each child gets the same. Bags collected in Oct.
