Sonshine Community Services has been bringing healing and hope to families in need since 1978 when  individuals from Calgary's River Park Church set out to serve homeless families in their community. Over the years, Sonshine's services evolved into a full range of residential and community outreach programs specializing in developing and strengthening healthy families.
Our Mission is to effectively deliver services from a Christian perspective that support the development of healthy individuals and families, assist in the building of respectful relationships, and respond to the needs of those experiencing family violence and abuse.
Our vision is that all individuals and families within our community have the opportunity to live healthy lives free from domestic violence and other debilitating life stressors.
We offer the following serivces to the community:
- Sonshine Community Counseling Services- Professional counseling available to anyone in the community. Fees are administered on a sliding scale based on client income.
- Sonshine Family Day Homes Agency- Operates over 30 accredited family day homes in Calgary. Subsidies available for those families who qualify.
- Sonshine Centre - A one-year residential and counseling program for women and children who have experienced family violence and abuse.
Our services are provided equally to all individuals regardless of race, faith, political status, or age. We operate with a professional staff and a group of dedicated volunteers.
Sonshine Community Services is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We are a registered Canadian charity, and we depend on charitable donations for the majority of our operating budget.
Throughout all the years of growth and change at Sonshine, we have never lost sight of our commitment to help the most vulnerable in our community, one family at a time
