The Mustard Seed in Medicine Hat seeks help to provide winter support meals for Giving Tuesday

Dec 1, 2025 | 12:55 PM

The Mustard Seed for this Giving Tuesday is inviting the community to help provide 200,000 meals to individuals and families in Medicine Hat and across Western Canada who are facing hunger.

Donations made before midnight on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025, will be eligible to be matched with the support from the Arnie J. Charbonneau Foundation, helping generosity go twice as far.

Donations can be made at The Mustard Seed’s website.

Due to the closure of the Allowance Avenue Community Impact Centre, the Mustard Seed has transitioned its programs in Medicine Hat to a mobile service model.

The service brings food, essential items, and support directly to people where they are, while continuing to serve meals at the 8th Street Shelter.
