This past Christmas season we asked you to help with a great need in our city and as always, 96.9 JACK listeners came through!  With the help of our friends at London Drugs, and the generous donations from Calgarians, we collected thousands of high-need items for the Calgary homeless population through The Mustard Seed.

We think the Resource Sorting Centre Coordinator from The Mustard Seed says it best….

The campaign was a complete success ! We received approximately 1173 shopping bags of  full of donations. This will help up to 10,000 guests every month, for at least the next 4 months or even more, in  accessing urgently  needed  basic service items.

The donations collected from The Spirit of Giving will impact our guests in a most positive way. They sometimes spend very long and tiresome days  on the streets , even as long as 10 to 12 hours a day. Now- If a guest arrives at our  Shelter cold , wet and dirty , we can  offer them all the items they need in order to get cleaned up properly, and the put on a fresh set of clothes . This campaign really shows them how much our city truly cares about their well-being.
