Special Time and a Special Gift

We at SCCC has often extended a helping hand through our Compassion Ministry with Christmas Grocery Gift Cards and emergency compassion needs. With financial struggles ever present in our communities and families.

South Calgary continues to receive referrals from around the neighborhoods and our English ministry for individuals and families who need financial support. December gives us a unique opportunity to encourage each household with a grocery gift card.

Over the last few years we have transitioned to giving “Grocery Cards” instead of physical food hampers. That change was made to allow families to customize the hampers to their individual food needs. Each delivery is a hand-delivered Christmas greeting from you, the congregation of South Calgary. 

If you know of a family or individual who would benefit from receiving our support of a grocery card, please call or email the office with your referral.

Here are three ways to support South Calgary’s Compassion (Grocery Gift Card) ministry:

• On Sunday Nov 30th and Dec 7th, give a donation to the Christmas Grocery Gift Card in your offering. Designate your gift as ‘compassion’

• Volunteer to deliver 1-2 Christmas cards Dec 11th. Contact the office with your availability to deliver these gift cards.

• Include the Compassion Fund in your regular offerings. Designate your gift as ‘compassion’.

Any offerings to Compassion needs over and above your regular tithes are also eligible for a receipt. At any time, donations to ‘compassion’ can be designated on your offerings envelope or online giving transaction.
