Once again The HiFi Club is very proud to present our Annual Clothing Drive in support of The Calgary Drop In Centre.
Bring in 1 coat or 2 sweaters and receive Free Cover Charge at any of our resident nights or half off any of our special events in the month of December.
Every year The Calgary Drop in center takes in homeless Calgarians out of our harsh winters. They lack the resources to fully outfit them so please donate any piece of warm clothing possible so we can help with this problem.
The old Calgary Drop-In Centre The DI has been a familiar face in the homeless sector since 1961. The DI was originally operated through a joint initiative of the Roman Catholic Diocese and the Calgary Interfaith Community Action Committee in 1961.
THe Old DI BuildingThe purpose of this endeavor was to provide services in the east end of the city to homeless individuals who needed shelter and food.
In 1977 the two groups amalgamated, and the present Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre Society was founded. The DI is governed by the Board of Directors of the Calgary Drop-In Centre Society, an incorporated, non-denominational, non-profit, charitable organization. It is administered by a full time staff and volunteers.
Marie Long Time Squirrel – Homeless, not jobless. Since its inception, The DI has continued to grow to meet the rising demand for emergency shelter and food within Calgary’s homeless and low-income population. Initially, services included meals, sleeping for up to 20 men and women and no daytime services. Over the course of the next few years, space and sleeping capacity were increased. In 1997, day services were added and the DI has provided 24/7 continuous operation since that time.
