RECYCLE - KEEP THE CYCLE ROLLING 
DONATE YOUR NEW & GENTLY USED HOUSEHOLD ITEMS OR FURNITURE TO OUR RECYCLING PROGRAM
Recycling Program – A dedicated core of 35-40 volunteers work along side our staff to sort, clean and repair or refinish donated items which are then offered at a low cost to our clients. Dedicated staff provide a safe place for people living with mental illness to come together to socialize, to learn, to work and to have fun.
Twice per year we invite the public to our sales which offers a rewarding experience for the volunteers and helps generate funds to enhance programs at Calgary Association of Self Help. Call Cue Cairns for more information.

Amy - Calgary Association of Self Help Client
"I needed a place to go, and a purpose, I was just wandering through life and was lost, making many bad choices... then I came to Self Help and things have really changed for the better. My life is solid now. I have friends, mental health support, people like me here and I now have structure and purpose."
