At IMS, we firmly believe in the power of giving back to our community, especially during the holiday season. In December 2024, IMS continued its tradition of supporting local charities. We made a meaningful donation to Hope Mission Calgary, an organization that provides essential services to individuals and families in need.
Hope Mission’s Impact on Calgary’s Most Vulnerable
Hope Mission has long been a pillar of support in Calgary. It offers life-changing services to those facing adversity. The organization has a strong presence in lower-income neighborhoods where many families struggle to make ends meet. Through a variety of initiatives, Hope Mission provides food, clothing, emotional support, and after-school programs for children. Their work is especially impactful for school-aged kids. These kids benefit from a safe space where they can connect with peers, engage with caring adults, get academic help, and enjoy meals.
Hope Mission also offers free childcare for working parents, especially those juggling multiple jobs. This service helps ensure kids have a secure environment after school. Many of these children come from families experiencing addiction or financial hardship. Hope Mission steps in to fill the gaps, providing a warm place to go, nutritious meals, and crucial support when it’s needed the most.
IMS’s Contribution: A Heartfelt Donation
In line with IMS’s ongoing commitment to supporting those in need, we collected food, new and gently used clothing, and a monetary donation for Hope Mission during the 2024 holiday season. Each year, IMS selects a local charity that exemplifies the spirit of community support. This year, Hope Mission was a natural choice. Their outreach programs are essential to families in Calgary, where the need for food, clothing, and emotional support is immense.
The children and families served by Hope Mission benefit from a wide range of services. These include after-school programs, where kids get help with homework, enjoy activities like board games and sports, and share meals. They also run a free clothing store, provide meals to the homeless, and deliver food hampers to families in need. Hope Mission’s impact is far-reaching, and it relies entirely on donations from individuals and organizations like IMS to keep its doors open and programs running.
