Calgary Drop-In Centre

The Calgary Drop-In Centre (the DI) stands as a beacon of hope in the heart of Calgary, providing comprehensive support to vulnerable adults (18+) experiencing or at risk of homelessness. As a non-profit organization, the DI is deeply committed to offering essential care, health services, employment training, housing support, and emergency shelter to those in need, with the ultimate goal of guiding each person towards independent living.

Free Goods Program: the DI operates a Free Goods Program that collects donated furniture, household items, clothing, and other essentials from the community. These items are then distributed free of charge to Calgarians in need, including DI clients, ensuring access to vital resources for those facing hardship.

The Calgary Drop-In Centre’s unwavering dedication to accountability, transparency, and cost-efficiency has earned it recognition as one of the Top 100 Charities in Canada. Beyond accolades, the DI plays a pivotal role in Calgary’s Homeless-Serving System of Care, serving as a cornerstone in the broader national initiative to combat homelessness across Canada.

Through its holistic approach and steadfast commitment to serving the community, the Calgary Drop-In Centre continues to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Calgary and beyond.
