Help set the table for families & support Candace House's meal program

Nourish Hearts
Your generosity will
Providing meals and snacks during court proceedings helps families meet their basic needs during challenging days. This support is crucial as it offers comfort and sustains them through long hours in the courtroom.
Providing families with access to consistent meals is a deeply compassionate act. It allows them to focus on navigating the emotional complexities of the court process with less burden.
Ways You Can Help:
-
Donate money to our Zeffy campaign
-
Donate Skip The Dishes online gift cards to info@candacehouse.ca
-
Donate Tim Horton's or Subway gift cards
-
Or donate your reusable grocery bags to send families home with leftovers (drop off at Candace House or FreshCo on Pembina)
In the spirit of #GivingTuesdayCA, we're reaching out to our incredible community to help us raise $5000 for our meal program - that's a month of meals for our families!
Your contribution, no matter the size, will impact the lives of individuals and families who turn to Candace House during their darkest hours.
“Even just having a little bit of a snack or something to kind of help process what you’re going through really does help...
It’s one of my favourite pieces
about Candace House.”

Comfort & Community
Help us provide
The act of sharing food together creates community among families, as well as with Candace House staff and other justice employees like Crown attorneys and Victim Service workers.
Gathering around food also gives families the opportunity to prepare for and debrief from proceedings, and helps provide a respite from court and a transition space before returning home.
This #GivingTuesdayCA,
we're setting a goal to raise $5000!
That's a month of meals for families!
Care for Families
Together, we can
“I found out that first day that they were going to supply us with food. I mean, it’s small... but it’s a really big thing. [It showed] they care. It’s family.
If you have family that come over, you feed them. And that’s part of the whole feeling of comfort.”
