At The Mustard Seed, our mission is to alleviate poverty and homelessness through acceptance, empowerment and practical solutions. We provide a safe and supportive haven where people can have their physical needs met, and also begin to heal and grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
We do what we do because there are many people in great need of support, compassion and assistance in their desire for a better life, and we believe we have a calling to help those in need.
How do we do it?
We support the whole person; physically, through basic needs like food, shelter and clothing; emotionally, through counselling and relationships; financially, through income support programs (employment and government); and spiritually, through counselling and prayer support.
At United Way of Calgary and Area, we care deeply about creating a resilient and caring community where everyone thrives.
As a 100% local social impact charity, we are passionate about discovering innovative ways to deepen and diversify the impact of community support. We excel at bringing people and organizations together to develop new solutions to address critical issues in our community, focusing on mental health, healthy relationships, socio-economic wellbeing, and social inclusion.
Founded in 1940, we have a long history in Calgary. Our office is home to 130 passionate employees who truly believe in making a difference. Our culture reflects our work – we are people-centered, relationship-focused, and innovative in our drive for impact, helping over 160,000 people a year in the Calgary area.
We believe tomorrow can be better. Join us in making a difference in our community.
