The
Kinette Club of Calgary is a volunteer service organization that has been serving the Calgary community since 1948.
The Adopt-a-Family program is operated entirely by volunteers. Referrals to the Kinette Club of Calgary’s Adopt-a-Family
program come from counselors working in recognized social services agencies. These clients are low income
families ($12,000/year annual income), have not received a hamper in the past 3 years, and will not receive any other hamper
during the holiday season. 2011
Adopt a Family Hamper Program In 2011 we provided hampers to 179 families in Calgary; this is an increase
of 49 families over our 2010 program!A sincere thank you to all the donors who spent their
time and resources to make Christmas easier for a family in need. This program is successful year-after-year because of the
individuals, families, and companies who adopt families through our program. We would also like to send a big thank you to
everyone who provided gift cards and "extra" gifts to the program - these are much needed and appreciated. Finally, we would like to thank the "people power" that goes into making this program work. We have so
many volunteers that come out to help with our drop-off and pick-up weekend, and we could not do this without them.
