Trellis Program Offers Dignified Holiday Giving in Calgary

Empowering Families Through Essential Support

Calgary's Trellis Society is championing a "dignity-first" approach to holiday giving this season with its Winter Breather program. This initiative, designed to provide genuine choice to families, has resonated deeply within the community. As a Calgary-based, registered Canadian charity, Trellis directly addresses financial stress by covering essential costs such as utilities, groceries, and laundry supplies.

This vital support creates crucial "breathing room" for families and individuals during the challenging winter months. By easing these fundamental burdens, the program empowers recipients with the autonomy to buy their own holiday gifts and plan festive meals on their own terms, ensuring they experience the joy of Christmas authentically. The program aims to reduce financial stress and enable families to celebrate as they choose. Learn more about this impactful initiative at growwithtrellis.ca/winterbreather.
