The Mustard Seed is a Calgary-based nonprofit humanitarian organization founded in 1984 that assists people experiencing homelessness by meeting essential needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Beyond immediate provisions, it runs education and employment training programs aimed at rebuilding confidence and helping guests transition off the streets. Its wraparound approach includes supported housing, arts and recreation activities, a comprehensive health and wellness center, and individualized mentoring to support overall well-being. The organization serves individuals experiencing homelessness and related challenges within Calgary and the wider Alberta region, operating in the civic and social sector. It maintains a mid-sized staff to deliver a combination of shelter, education, health, and mentoring services. In May 2026, the Mustard Seed announced a collaboration with BC Housing to support a 30-bed extreme weather shelter in Kamloops, illustrating ongoing partnerships to expand housing options.
