When a very special 11 year old asks for donations to Morning Star instead of presents for his birthday. What an amazing kiddo. So proud of you JRB! And a big Thankyou!

Our Morning Star drop-in has been fortunate to have had a grant the last two years that enabled us to be open extended hours.
As of April 1/26 that grant has ended and so our hours are reverting to previous our funded hours. As of April 1st we are open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday Fromm 8:30-2pm. Please note our groups have moved to Mondays and so will be closing all other drop-in activities at 1pm for the group to take place.
Below are our Easter hours.
Please share around! Thankyou

We are in big need of mitts and gloves here in the drop-in! We are well stocked in toques and scarves but need to defend the digits from the deep freeze!🧤

Thankyou!

Lady Winter may have taken her time to blow in but here she is and we need some help!
Sock and mitt help specifically!

We are decently stocked with toques and scarves right now but are in dire need of covering the fingers and the toes!

Thankyou

So grateful!

Thank you, Red Deer! 🍦❤️

Every year at the end of the season, Ross Street Ice Cream Company clears out our remaining stock with our $3 Ice Cream Fundraiser — and this year, you absolutely blew us away.

Because of your support, we were able to donate $1,760 to Morning Star, an organization that provides essential support and services for women in our community.

This photo captures the moment we handed over the cheque — but you made it possible.
Every cone, every cup, every person who lined up to help us clear out the freezers… it all added up to something meaningful.

From the entire Ross Street Ice Cream & Taco Loft team:
Thank you for showing up for us, and for the people who need it most. 💛

Reopening as usual Wednesday Nov 12

We are hit hard by grocery inflation! Tho we ration the food we give out, we’re struggling to ensure that everyday we are able to give every woman who come in something to eat. So when we are setting records with how many women we see every month, around 30-35 women daily we reaaaally need some help.
Ramen noodles, instant oatmeal, granola bars, apple sauce or fruit cups, other individual snacks, or dividable snacks.
Please please please we need our community more than ever.

With grateful hearts we say a huge Thankyou to brand new friend to Morning Star: Chrystal Cedar Cove for the Blessing Bags. It means the world to us when we call out for help, people answer, our community answers. And in this case, a new local business owner who randomly saw our ask and decided to answer ❤️ all our gratitude

Soap? Soap? Who’s got the soap?

We are busier than ever these days and so we are running short on a variety of things, summer socks, individual packaged snacks, oatmeal and ramen, wash clothes, and bottles of water. But also for the first time in the history of drop-in: BARS OF SOAP! Our shower is a busy place so we go through dozens and dozens of bars a soap a week
It’s hard and really hot out there folks and we sure appreciate the support to keep a’going here ❤️
