At Highbanks, food and feasting are expressions of love and cultural tradition. And we love the food our volunteers prepare for all the families!

Book clubs, corporate teams, and community groups join us for a morning or afternoon to meal prep for our programs. It’s amazing to watch them chop, sauté, mix, and prepare 15 or more lasagnes, Mac n cheese, or soup! They also bake 200+ cookies!

The meals they make nourish our clients the same day - having a very direct, immediate and meaningful impact.

Thank you all!

Whether holding a baby, playing games with a toddler or having a dance party with our older children, the Highbanks Childminding volunteers share their warmth, care, humour, and huge hearts. We are deeply grateful for their time, their generosity of spirit and their eagerness to jump in and help out.

From everyone at Highbanks, thank you!

Pink Shirt Day at Highbanks - stopping bullying starts at home with how we show up for our children and model kindness and respect.

Canadian Tire REIT is a long time supporter of Highbanks. During the holidays, CT REIT donated household appliances for all the Highbanks moms - Keurigs, air fryers, humidifiers, pot sets, reusable lunch containers. What a gift!

And today, CT REIT donated nine cases of honey to Highbanks! Amazing that they are helping the urban bee population with hives on the roofs of Canadian Tire stores! Bees get a home. Flowers get pollinated. We get honey. Win. Win. Win. Thank you!!!

For over 20 years, Soroptimist Club of Calgary has provided support and encouragement to Highbanks and the families we serve. Their belief in our clients and their support for women and educational means the world!

Today we were visited by Cathy Coghlan, President of Soroptimist Calgary, and Chari Grant, Western Canada Region Governor. Thanks you for sharing your time and the Soroptimist stories with us. We look forward to another 20 years of collaboration in support of women, children and education!

We’re so grateful to Operational Eyesight for filling the Highbanks food pantry. Together, we are ensuring that the young mother-led families at Highbanks never go hungry.

The Highbanks families live on a fixed income and rent, diapers, transportation, and other essentials add up fast. Our food pantry is always accessible and available to make sure every family is fed.

You can help, too! Start a food drive at work or for your next birthday, ask your friends and family to donate to Highbanks in your name!

We were honoured to welcome MP Corey Hogan to Highbanks! Thank you, Mr. Hogan for taking the time to visit, listen, and support the work we do with the moms and kiddos who call Highbanks their home. Your interest and encouragement mean a great deal to our team and the families we serve. We look forward to many more visits!

Wow! The great folks at Plains Midstream filled our food pantry and Sharing Closet!

The Highbanks Sharing Closet is stocked with cleaning supplies, toiletries, diapers, and gently used clothing donations. These items can take a big chunk out of a very limited budget. The Highbanks families can access the Sharing Closet anytime they need which is a great help especially during the holiday season. The Sharing Closet is always open and is located in an out of the way corner of our building so that moms have both agency and privacy.

Similarly, our food pantry is open to our moms and kiddos to help provide food security support.

Thanks Plains Midstream for believing in our moms, children and their bright futures!
