A Place of Hope for Calgary's Homeless Families

Inn from the Cold provides emergency shelter, support and programs to homeless children, their families and others in need, with the goal of building healthy, stable families and ending homelessness. Inn from the Cold is the only place in Calgary where homeless families can go for hope and help, and remain together. At a time when they have hit rock bottom, families will find a place of refuge, respect and compassion.

Since opening their doors in 1997, Inn from the Cold has helped more than 1,000 homeless families. In 2010 alone, the organization provided 10,361 beds through their community emergency shelter program and served over 34,000 nutritious meals. For some families, it is simply to provide a warm bed and home-cooked meals for a few nights. Others may require their help for a longer period of time. Whatever the need, Inn from the Cold is committed to working with its community partners to provide each family with the programs, services and support they require to rebuild their lives.
