WHY DO WE WEAR RED ON FRIDAYS?

R.E.D. stands for Remember Everyone Deployed.

Each Friday, Canadians wear red to honor the members of our Canadian Armed Forces who are serving away from home. It is a simple gesture carrying a powerful message: they are seen, they are remembered and their service and sacrifices are deeply appreciated.

We also recognize the families waiting at home—the spouses, children, parents and loved ones who carry their own worries and make sacrifices alongside those deployed.

Wearing red reminds our serving members that distance does not mean they have been forgotten. It brings communities together in gratitude, respect and solidarity.

Today, and every Friday, we wear red and proudly say:

We see you. We remember you. We stand beside you.

Because Service Never Ends.

🚗 VOLUNTEER DRIVER NEEDED—CALGARY

Do you enjoy driving and have a few spare hours in your week?

Every pickup helps keep our shelves stocked so veterans, first responders and their families can shop privately for the items they need—with choice, dignity and respect.

You don’t need a cape to make a difference. Sometimes, you just need a little time, a caring heart and the drive to help others!

🦸‍♀️ NO CAPE REQUIRED—BUT COMFORTABLE SHOES ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

The real superheroes at CAVSS don’t fly. They stock shelves, organize donations, clean, make phone calls, attend outreaches, welcome guests and listen when someone needs a caring ear.

Every volunteer brings different abilities, but they all share one thing: a desire to help those who have served.

If you have a little time, a helpful spirit and room in your heart for one more mission, we would love to hear from you.

Small acts of service can create enormous hope.

Because Service Never Ends.

🥒 HAS YOUR GARDEN BEEN A LITTLE TOO GENEROUS?

Are tomatoes covering every counter? Are potatoes taking over the pantry? Are the zucchini multiplying when nobody is looking?

Our Food Banks would be delighted to share your harvest abundance with the veterans, first responders and families we serve.

We welcome fresh potatoes, tomatoes, corn, carrots, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, leafy greens, apples, pears and other seasonal produce.

Even one bag or basket can make a meaningful difference.

From your garden to their table—let’s grow hope together.

Because Service Never Ends.

🦸 CALLING ALL GROCERY HEROES!

Our Food Bank shelves have an important mission: providing veterans, first responders and their families with healthy food and essential supplies.

Could you help complete the mission by donating a few groceries?

Every can, bag, box and bottle helps our guests shop privately and select what their families need with dignity.

No cape is required—just a caring heart and perhaps an extra bag of groceries!

Fill a shelf. Feed hope.

Because Service Never Ends.
