United Way of Calgary and Area
Description

Looking for a unique way to get your colleagues engaged with your community from within your office?

Soap n’ Suds, a resident-led program offering community members access to safe and clean shower facilities, including towels and toiletries, is a perfect example of this collective impact in action.

The program, supported by the Community Hubs Initiative, The Greater Forest Lawn Community Connector Initiative, and Aspen Family Services, runs out of the The City’s Ernie Starr Arena and has provided hundreds of showers, hygiene kits, and snack packs to people in need. Designed, organized, and executed by community members in the Greater Forest Lawn area, Soap n’ Suds is a wonderful example of multiple partners coming together to help their fellow community members.

You can help this initiative by completing an in-office or at home collection drive for hygiene items, snacks, and other necessities for those in need.
