Senior Development Officer - Southern AB:
“With hearts full of gratitude, we thank you for embodying the love and hope of Jesus Christ through your generous support and prayers for vulnerable men, women and children through the Mustard Seed in Red Deer. Your faithful financial gifts and selfless volunteerism have been a powerful testament to Christ’s compassion, uplifting those in need within our Central Albertan Community.

Through your incredible generosity, we distributed for example over 250 Thanksgiving Turkey Hampers to families of students enrolled in our school lunch program, spreading warmth and joy this season during the Teachers Strike.

Last Sunday, over 600 people attended the 5th Annual Bowls for Bellies Soup Cook-off, helping to raise over $45,000 for our School Lunch Program. A program that cost's over $350,000 per year to operate.

Since January of this year, our shelter has been a place of safety and hope for 228 unique individuals. With 46 beds, we’ve been at 90% capacity on average, showing just how vital the service continues to be in Red Deer.

Thanks to your generosity, and the dedication of our staff, 133 guests have successfully moved back into permanent housing – a 39% success rate!

One important trend we’re seeing this year is the growing number of senior adults (55+) seeking shelter. 29% increase from 2023. As a result, 41% of our guests are over the age of 55.

The Mustard Seed in Red Deer is currently in the process of securing property to build our own permanent supportive housing. Renovation funds will be needed for some properties in the very near future. Mustard Seed Housing includes staff oversight and wrap-around services. More exciting news to come.

Thank you to our team and supporters!
For the last couple of months our 2024 Coldest Night of the Year walking team has been getting donations to help out The Mustard Seed and The Red Deer Food Bank.
We gathered at The Mustard Seed on Saturday, February 24th to check in and enjoy warm beverages and cookies. There were outside fire pits going to help us stay warm. We did the 2 km walk which lead us on both sides of the river. We had to be careful as there were icy surfaces to cross. When we returned to the building, there was a warm meal of veggie or beef chili (donated by The Soup Sisters soupsisters.org), veggies and jello dessert.
Because of how much we raised (so far $3280!) we placed fourth and won a prize of eight passes for Woodshed Ax Throwing in Sylvan Lake! Our team of eight will give it a whirl and we will let you know how it went. Thank you for all the support and prayers. The current total raised for the two providers is $41,002! The Mustard Seed and The Red Deer Food Bank will continue to provide the much needed supports to our ever increasing vulnerable population.
