Room to Heal - Help us rebuild the Glickman Centre
Healing begins in a safe and dignified space.
For women and children escaping violence, a bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is the first place where fear can ease, privacy is restored, and healing can begin.
Through the Room to Heal campaign, Na’amat Canada is rebuilding 12 bedrooms at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention in Tel Aviv — the first women’s shelter established in Israel.
This is a project Canada helped build. Now, we proudly rebuild it.
Our goal is to raise $140,000 to ensure that every room reflects safety, dignity, and care from the moment a family walks through the door.
We are honoured to announce the
Benny Freedman z”l Match For Hope
Through Holocaust survivor Benny Freedman's Legacy, we have received a generous gift of $70,000 to match every dollar raised toward our $140,000 goal.
The need is urgent.
The impact is immediate.
For more than 30 years the Glickman Centre has provided shelter, counselling, legal support, and rehabilitation programs for women and children experiencing abuse.
The bedrooms are central to this mission.
We stand with Israel- When crisis calls we answer!
Emergency Relief - We Stand with Israel
Moved by urgency and unity, Na’amat Canada is launching its Emergency Relief Campaign under the banner: When crisis calls, we answer.
Your generosity brings safety, care, and hope to families who need us most.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Our warm and inclusive members always welcome new members to our chapter, whether you’re a long-time Calgarian or new to our city.
What We Do
School Supplies for Kids
Since the inception of our local School Supplies for Kids program in 1998, more than 27,000 children who have taken refuge in 20 Calgary and Southern Alberta domestic violence and homeless shelters have received a new backpack filled with essential learning supplies. For a child staying at a shelter, this gift offers a bright spot during a dark and difficult time. Oftentimes, children escaping violence or homelessness not only change homes, but schools as well, leaving behind their friends, necessities and routines.
We have been told the backpacks we provide make the transition a little easier by giving them the basic necessities and enabling these children to pursue their education with hope and dignity. These young victims of domestic violence and homelessness have experienced great trauma, and together with your support we can make a meaningful difference in their lives.

Providing the Essentials
A new initiative was established to fill an unaddressed need for clients at Jewish Family Services Calgary (JFSC) called Na’amat Canada Calgary Providing the Essentials. “Our program will provide hygiene items and cleaning supplies that most of us take for granted: but when someone is struggling to make ends meet or living under the poverty level, these items are unaffordable,” says Stephanie Sacks, Na’amat Canada Calgary President.
“Our Na’amat Canada Calgary Providing the Essentials program will be an ongoing project, and our members are so pleased that we are able to assist JFSC, and help so many Calgarians,” says Aviva Lifschitz, Na’amat Canada Calgary Membership Chair.
