We Need Your Support!

To provide our students with an enriching learning experience, we are urgently seeking
donations of sewing machines. Your contributions will not only enhance our sewing classes but
also profoundly impact the lives of the families we serve by giving them hands-on experience
that leads to empowerment and independence.

Here’s How You Can Help:

  •  Donate gently used or new sewing machines (or more than one!)
  • Contribute accessories such as sewing machine needles, thread, bobbins, or fabric.
  • Financial donations for purchasing new sewing machines are also greatly appreciated.
  • Spread the word to your friends and family who may be able to help.

Your generous support will enable participants to create, learn, and thrive in their new communities. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one stitch at a time!

Donation Drop-Off Location: 

Centre for Newcomers (Youth Hub)
565 36 St NE #125, Calgary, AB T2A 6K3

If you are unable to drop off a sewing machine, we can arrange for pickup in the local area.

Please contact our sewing program coordinator, Akberet Ande, at
a.ande@centrefornewcomers.ca or call 403-477-6836.
