Thanks to the 500+ guests who joined us September 29 for our 21^st Never Give Up Gala. We are proud to have so many loyal and generous sponsors and donors! CBC’s Doug Dirks and Julie Van Rosendaal emceed our evening, which included a story of inspiration from the parent of a client.

Wood’s and the City will welcome hundreds of women for a ladies’ night out in support of children’s mental health to the stylish Hudson on April 20, 2018 in the heart of downtown Calgary.

After a 2-year search for a permanent home for our Calgary Street Services, we are pleased to be moving into the community of Inglewood in early 2018.

Your donation in support of children’s mental health will wrap up the year in the most touching way – please remember that to be eligible for a 2017 charitable tax receipt, contributions must be received or postmarked by December 31.

Much of the work we do in children’s mental health relies on the generous contributions of this community. We are pleased to announce the following fundraisers and welcome you...

It's been quite a year at Wood's Homes. We invite you to read our 2017 - 2018 Annual Report and join us as we reach for the stars!

We are excited to host our Never Give Up Gala on September 29 at the Hyatt Regency. We are thrilled with the loyal support of so many sponsors and donors. We’ll see you there!

 It’s been a long time dream to establish a one-stop-shop for vulnerable youth ages 12-24, who are looking for a path to a brighter future. 

That dream came true when Wood’s Homes opened its third campus in the community of Inglewood. The new facility is now home to 6 programs that provide specific wraparound services for homeless and at-risk youth, creating the EXIT Youth Hub. 

Don't delay your year-end donation to receive your 2018 tax receipt! Donations made via mail must be postmarked by December 31. Thank you for your support throughout the year. We wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Wood’s Homes takes its responsibility in promoting a safe workplace very seriously.

We are fully co-operating with investigations underway by both Occupational Health and Safety and Calgary Police Services, and are conducting our own investigation into the incident.

As we have obligations regarding client confidentiality and privacy, we are unable to comment on any specifics related to our past or current clients.

Our thoughts are with the family of Debbie Onwu, and our Wood’s Homes family in the midst of this tragedy.
