Since 2010, Closer to Home’s Adopt-a-Family initiative has brought hope and holiday joy to vulnerable families in Calgary and area. This year, I’m hosting a fundraiser to make that hope a reality for a specific family—and I’m inviting you to join me.

Your donation will provide gift cards to parents, caregivers, and children, giving them the most meaningful gift of all—choice. Families can buy essentials like diapers and groceries, or choose special gifts to brighten the holidays.

A portion of each gift supports Closer to Home’s Community Fund, helping families year-round, and covers essential program costs so every dollar makes a real difference.

When I reach my goal, I’ll be matched with a family and share a glimpse into their journey—so we can see the lives we’ve touched together.

Let’s make the season brighter, filled with love, compassion, and community care.
