The Mustard Seed is a Christian non-profit organization that has been caring for men, women and children experiencing poverty and homelessness since 1984. Founded in Calgary, we are committed to growing hope for our vulnerable neighbors in all the communities we serve, which include Edmonton, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie and Kamloops. We strive to be a supportive haven where people can have their physical, mental, and spiritual needs met and grow toward greater health and independence. We have been an agent of change for more than three decades, thanks to our donors, volunteers, and support from our communities. “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field: it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” - Matthew 13:31-32
