Ok @Twitter You want to know “What’s Happening?” Well I’ll tell you!
We @HarvestHillsYYC woke up this morning to a bunch of emails and texts and voicemails from AISH clients who have:
A.) Not gotten their AISH payment.
B.) Got their AISH payment but it wasn’t the full amount.
C.) Didn’t get their AISH payment and have been frantically trying to call the support line to talk to anyone or get ahold of their worker...only to not get a call back.
We are working as fast as we can to sort everyone who had asked us for help into our respective categories, and if we have permission from anyone to share a story about their situation we will. But until then all we can say is this:
There is a great need for help in our city of Calgary. If anyone can find it in their hearts to donate anything towards a purchase of a food hamper for these individuals asking us for help, please send an etransfer to:
HarvestHillsCaresCalgary@Gmail.Com
Our team have just reported that we currently have 5 people in Our ASAP Emergency Category. We anticipate more to be added to this category as we sort through our requests.
If you can help us help these individuals please Dm us here or call/email us at:
We were at a store in Southeast #Calgary. We were shopping for some groceries when my stepson saw someone take a package of meat and put it under their shirt and then slowly walk over to their cart. #Food#Hungry#Alberta#yyc
Someone then took it upon themselves to legit walk over there and publicly shame the person. Sure people came to the person who took the package of meat but the other entitled bigot just wouldn’t stop.
I stepped in. I was NOT going to let another #Calgarian be treated like that.
I went over to the person and asked if I could help at all. The entitled bigot told me to kick rocks (in not so nice words) but I wouldn’t let that phase me.
I told the person in a loud voice that we would have no problem buying them some groceries no questions asked. #Groceries
We have 2 requests on our list to tend to before we hit the ground running this week!
If we could get help with the following two request that would be amazing!
