*⚠️Thread Warning: Long Thread⚠️*

Speaking bluntly here: We have seen an dramatic increase in requests for help/assistance due to:

1.) CERB ending and “Transitioning” individuals over to EI. Only problem is many Albertans will not qualify.

With CERB ending and many of the 4million plus people not being able to qualify for EI, we will see a lot of problems happening for Albertans.

2.) With the recent changes to AISH and Alberta Works, many are left feeling bewildered and scared.

Many have had their peace of mind taken from them by having things like aides to daily living & medications that were once covered, but aren’t covered anymore just to name a few

Many clients are now having to choose between eating or paying out of pocket for needed medications for themselves or their children.

Many people are having to choose between paying for their utilities or eating. Rent or eating.

This is why Harvest Hills Cares Calgary was created.

The Awesome and Exceptional team of shoppers, volunteers, drivers and support workers, work TIRELESSLY to help any Calgarian who contacts Harvest Hills Cares Calgary for help.

Every day we help families that have fallen through the cracks. Every day we work with groups like @ENMAX and @ATCO and @DirectEnergy and @ShawInfo and @Bell and others to help give families a reprieve so they are able to work out a payment schedule so no one gets disconnected.

We work with agencies and organizations such as @CalgaryFoodBank @LeftoversYYC @DonateRecycleIT and many others so that whomever we help has continuing support long after we have assisted/helped these individuals, families and seniors in need.

We rely 100% on donations to do what we do. Without donations these families, these individuals, these seniors would not have our help.

Which is why we need everyone’s help and support.

If you could find it in you to help by donating to us, it would allow us to keep helping Calgarians in need.

If you can find it in you to donate please consider donating to us by Etransfer: [e-mail] PayPal:
PayPal.Me/HarvestHillsCa…

Any amount can and will help the families we have on our list for the month of August.

We foresee a massive increase in requests for assistance come September when CERB begins to end for a large number of Albertans.

So if you can consider donating to our organization, please do so. No one deserves to have to worry about feeding themselves or their family. Especially when many people have other things on their mind during a pandemic.

If you can find it in you to donate (Any Amount Can & Will Help) Please consider donating to us by Etransfer: [e-mail] PayPal:
