We are grateful for the many organizations that have contributed to making Meals for Moms a reality. #thankful #mealsformoms #foodforfamilies

We are now open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11:00am-4:00pm every week. Our phone line (403-410-7900) is still available Monday - Friday from 11:00am-5:00pm, and for after hours, please contact 403-269-3110.

When people envision The Airdrie Centre, they might think of the staff. We, however, think of our heroic volunteers. When clients come in, they often feel lost. They might have had big dreams, may feel overwhelmed with the challenges of parenting, and feeling as life hasn’t turned out as planned. Our volunteers do peer counselling, birth coaching, food delivery and layettes, help line, classes and so much more. They always give with open hearts. We’ve seen babies born, we’ve seen families thrive, we’ve seen lives change! So many people now see a future, all because of our amazing volunteers! Thank you!

It is important to know where you can turn if you or someone you know is experiencing family violence during the COVID-19 pandemic. Help is available to Albertans dealing with family violence, partner abuse, sexual violence, child abuse, elder abuse, pet abuse, or financial abuse. Please check out this link from Alberta Health Services if you need information. https://www.alberta.ca/family-violence-find-supports.aspx

We have been delighted with the response from our community supporters. Every day someone comes to help sort supplies so we can be ready to supply clients with material goods (while practicing proper social distancing, of course). We are happy to say we have been inundated with people wanting to help. It's a great example of how people come together in a crisis. While we practice social distancing, let's be intentional about connecting with others in the ways that we can.

Even though things look a little different right now, we have dedicated staff and volunteers reaching out to our clients daily to ensure they feel supported and connected at home. We are still able to offer our clients many of the same services, in a different way. Our volunteers and staff are hard at work preparing our prenatal classes so they can be delivered by video. This will supplement the care our prenatal instructors have already given appointments by phone.
