A Calgary where the true spirit of Christmas is rekindled through kindness, connection, and community giving.
To help Calgarians make Christmas about giving again by offering a simple, joyful way to provide essentials and hope to local families in need.
At Reverse Advent Calendar Calgary, we promise to make giving simple, joyful, and meaningful — helping Calgarians bring hope, warmth, and dignity to families in need, one day and one item at a time.
Reverse Advent Calendar Calgary is a community-led movement built on one simple idea:
Each December, we rally Calgarians to fill a decorated box with one essential item a day — food, hygiene products, baby supplies, warmth items, and small comforts that make the season brighter for families facing hardship.
What started as a small act of kindness we hope will into a city-wide tradition rooted in generosity, connection, and hope. Whether you’re a family around the kitchen table, a group of friends, a classroom, an office, or a sports team, this is a way to give back that’s easy to start and deeply meaningful to complete.
Every box reminds someone in our city that they are seen, supported, and not alone.
And every participant becomes part of a Calgary community that chooses kindness — one day and one item at a time.
Together, we’re rekindling the true spirit of Christmas through simple, joyful acts of giving.
Together, we’re rekindling the true spirit of Christmas in Calgary – Make Christmas About Giving Again – through simple, joyful acts of giving.
We believe small daily actions create big impact. Every item placed in a box is a reminder that generosity doesn’t need to be complicated — it just needs to be consistent.
We rise when we lift each other. Reverse Advent exists to bring Calgarians together — families, workplaces, schools, sports teams — in a shared tradition of giving and care.
Everyone deserves to feel valued, supported, and seen. We give thoughtfully, respectfully, and with the understanding that dignity is as essential as the items in every box.
Giving should feel accessible, joyful, and easy to start. We design every step — from decorating your box to choosing items — to be simple, meaningful, and doable for anyone.
We honour the true heart of the season: generosity, compassion, and connection. Our work is rooted in bringing that spirit back into Calgary homes and into the hands of those who need it most.
If you need help delivering the collected items in your Reverse Advent Calendar box or you want us to pick it up for you, contact us at least 1-2 days ahead of time. We can arrange to your preferred charity for you.
