Donate
Every donation helps us support local individuals and families when they need it most. Financial contributions allow Airdrie 1st to respond quickly to community needs, expand our programs, and continue serving hundreds of people each year through initiatives like our Holiday Hamper Program and Birthday Closet.
We gratefully accept monetary donations through ATB Cares, as well as new gifts and items for children, teens, adults, and seniors. Donations of new household items, personal care products, toys, and gift items all help us create meaningful hampers and supports for local families.
No matter the size, every donation helps bring comfort, dignity, and hope to someone in our community.
Adopt A Family
The Holiday Hamper Program would not be possible without the incredible generosity of our community. By sponsoring a family, senior, or individual, you help bring comfort, dignity, and joy to someone facing hardship during the holiday season.
Sponsors are matched with a recipient of their choice and provided with a personalized wish list, giving you the opportunity to shop directly for the items that will make the biggest difference to them. From warm winter essentials to special holiday wishes, every gift reminds someone they are seen, valued, and cared for.
For many families, these hampers mean more than food or gifts, they mean hope during a difficult season. Your support helps ensure no one in our community feels forgotten during the holidays.
Fundraisers
Supporting our fundraisers is an easy and meaningful way to give back to the community while purchasing products you already use and enjoy. Every fundraiser directly supports our Holiday Hamper Program and helps us continue assisting local families, seniors, and individuals in need.
Purchase Great White Car Wash gift cards in $25 increments and a portion of every purchase will be donated back to Airdrie 1st.
You can also shop through Tru Earth for eco-friendly household products, with proceeds helping fund our Hamper Programs.
These partnerships allow everyday purchases to create lasting local impact.
Amazon Wish-List
Our Amazon Wish List helps make giving simple, direct, and impactful. Throughout the holiday season, the list is updated with requested items and essential needs from families receiving Holiday Hampers. Supporters can shop directly from the list, and items are shipped straight to us for distribution.
This wish list also helps stock our Birthday Closet year-round, ensuring local children and families can receive gifts and essentials during important moments throughout the year.
Every purchased item helps us fill our hampers with care, compassion, and community support.
