About This Cause
MADE BY MOMMA WHAT WE DO: Helping mothers and young children in times of crisis or adversity is what Made by Momma is all about. Being a mother to infants and young children can be stressful and exhausting. Add post-partum depression, physical illness, multiple births, or a family tragedy into the equation and the result can be devastating. Our clients tell us the wholesome meals, kind words and helping hands our volunteers provide make a huge difference in their lives. We felt a strong need to “pay it forward” and Made by Momma was conceived. A warm batch of muffins, a hot meal, a box of baby clothing or a visit from a new friend may not change the world...or could it? Made by Momma began as a small group of women with big ideas to help make the lives of struggling moms in our community a little bit easier with some practical peer-to-peer support. Those big ideas have now grown into a large network of over 1800 volunteers. Our services are geared towards families with young children affected by short-term or life-changing illness or injury by providing healthy meals, wholesome baked goods, baby essentials, supportive in-home visitors and other services to allow mothers the time they need to rest, recover and focus on their families. Made by Momma is a grassroots non-profit organization and registered Canadian charity located in Calgary. Because we are a volunteer-run organization, our operating costs are kept low, and the effectiveness of donated dollars/items very high. HOW WE DO IT: At Made by Momma, we know that in times of crisis we can change the life of a family simply through wholesome nourishment and nurturing care. We believe that our services are vital to providing aid to the socially, emotionally and/or financially distressed. Made by Momma is able to provide the assistance and support needed to maintain a family’s physical and emotional health during difficult life situations. The families we assist have one thing in common. They are dealing with challenges and facing times of adversity. Some are dealing with illness, some are grieving the loss of a child or spouse, some struggle with post-partum depression, some are struggling to adjust to the demands of newborn twins or triplets, and some have lost their means of income. Whatever the reason, these families need to gather their strength to overcome the hurdles they face, and when faced with a crisis, families often do not have the means to plan and prepare healthy meals. Made by Momma believes wholesome nutrition is vital, especially during life’s more challenging phases. Our volunteer network of caring, compassionate supporters work together to provide practical peer-to-peer support with the following programs and services: • Meal Support / Food Bank Services (prepared meals/baking, food hampers) • Baby and Family Essentials • In-home family support • Children’s Clothing Bank • Children’s Toy Bank • My New Bed Program • NICU Family Meals Program • Free Little Library • The Happy Birthday Project • Adopt-a-Momma for Christmas • Santa's Workshop • Sense of Community WHY WE DO IT: Because we know that sometimes mothers are the ones who need to be taken care of. Our Volunteer Resource Centre is in West Hillhurst NW, but our services reach every quadrant of the city including surrounding areas.
