Alpha House - 1

 " Give some support, get some socks!

Calgary Alpha House Society is a non-profit, charitable agency providing safe and caring environments for individuals whose lives are affected by alcohol and other substance dependencies.

Alpha House Society's work positively impacts the Calgary community by providing help to vulnerable citizens. In doing so, they divert individuals away from unnecessary uses of health care, criminal justice, and emergency systems by building relationships and connecting clients to more appropriate community resources.

Purchasing Plainsbreaker Apparel's custom Alpha House socks directly supports those in need by helping Alpha House continue to operate its Shelter, Detox, Supportive Housing, and Outreach programs, which all work to provide vulnerable men and women access to safe and caring environments 24/7.

By giving a little, you're helping a lot! Thank you for your support."
