About The Mustard Seed Calgary East

UPDATE: Local philanthropist Gary Nissen will match up to $20,000 in donations toward Coldest Night of the year! Come walk with us Calgary!

The Mustard Seed in Calgary offers an expansive range of innovative programs and services, including education and employment programs, health and wellness services, basic needs through a shelter for 370 men and women, spiritual care and housing.

At The Mustard Seed, We recognize that the root causes of poverty and homelessness are complex and diverse, and so we continue to grow and evolve with the needs of those we serve.

Coldest Night of the Year is an incredibly valuable way for the Community of Calgary to partner with The Mustard Seed in experiencing a small part of what our guests endure. We would love to have you, your family and friends to walk alongside The Mustard Seed at this incredibly important event.
