This evening at 4:45pm we got a call from a social worker that works with seniors. She called us in a frenzy asking us for immediate help.

She told us of an emergency so extreme that her voice shook with concern over one of her clients.

#YYC #Calgary #CalgarySeniors #hope

This is what she said:

"Hello Jen, I was hoping I would be able to contact you before I left my work for the day in regards to a rather important situation that came across my desk this afternoon. I hope you have the time to chat?"

I said "Yes of course, how can we help?" #care

She said "We have a senior lady that is struggling so much that she has been going door to door asking for food from others in her complex."

I was quiet and honestly speechless.

I said "Of course we can and we will help. What is it that you need." #FEEDYYC #FoodHamper #helping

I said "If you get me a list of items that she needs I will go out and get the items immediately and I will come right away with the food hamper and deliver everything myself."

She said "Tonight? But it is almost the end of the day!"

I said "I will deliver tonight! As soon as I can get off the phone and go to the store and then I can deliver."

She said "If you are able to deliver tonight, I would be able to go and help with another urgent case."

She went on to thank @HarvestHillsYYC and all our volunteers and said that she hopes the place she works at with vulnerable seniors and low income & homeless individuals will be able to get the help they need.

She also said that she hopes in the near future there will be enough funding for the vulnerable population here in the #CityOfCalgary.

This is part of the reason @HarvestHillsYYC first started. As everyone all knows, there will always be #people in need, and with this current #COVID19 pandemic there are even more #vulnerable individuals each and every single day.

This is also why we ask for #volunteers and for #donations. This is also why we are in the process of becoming a registered charity on top of us already being a Federal Registered Non Profit.

We ask for this because we want to continue to help #Calgarians in #Need here in #YYC

You can help by donating, Everything that is donated goes towards #helping people in need. Any amount can/will and does help.

For instance, It was through donations that we recently received that #enabled us to help fellow #Calgarians such as the #senior earlier #tonight.
