    On February 17, 2014, over 500 meals were served at The Salvation Army Centre of Hope in downtown Calgary to families, seniors from the East Village, and individuals staying at the Centre.

    “It’s always wonderful to see the happy, smiling faces of individuals, couples, and families as they gather around the table as a big family for dinner,” says Major Colleen Wells, Director of Spiritual and Religious Care for The Salvation Army in Calgary.

    The Salvation Army Community Services Calgary has been serving up a hot Family Day dinner to Calgary’s lost and forgotten since 2006.

    “The Salvation Army is strongly linked to the community, and it brings us a lot of enjoyment to host a Turkey Dinner for Calgary’s less fortunate,” explains Karen Livick, Executive Director of Community Services (Calgary) for The Salvation Army.  “It’s a way to bring people together, people who are alone and desire to experience friendship and fellowship while enjoying a hot, healthy dinner on Family Day.”
