Who We Are

The Calgary Drop-In and Rehab Centre (the DI) is a low-barrier, housing-focused organization serving some of Calgary’s most vulnerable community members.

We believe everyone deserves dignity, safety, and the opportunity to thrive. Every day, our team meets people where they’re at - offering basic needs, compassion, and connection while helping them move toward stable, permanent housing.

Our work is guided by the principles of housing first, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and recovery-oriented practice. But above all, we’re guided by people - their stories, their strengths, and their potential.

Deliver exceptional meal service by preparing and crafting high-quality menu items, expertly following recipes and production schedules, and ensuring seamless banquet-style service through efficient meal staging, temperature management, and continuous line replenishment to ensure every client receives a quality dining experience with dignity and care.
Keep operations running smoothly by setting up and maintaining workstations, mastering commercial kitchen equipment, supporting high-volume meal service, receiving and organizing food deliveries, and contributing to a culture of teamwork, cleanliness, and food safety every step of the way.
Help build an engaging and inclusive kitchen community by mentoring volunteers, demonstrating culinary techniques and safety practices, and fostering strong relationships that inspire teamwork, learning, and exceptional service.
Champion food safety and quality by upholding AHS standards, following safe food handling and sanitization practices, and expertly managing inventory through temperature monitoring, product labeling, and FIFO rotation to minimize waste and maximize efficiency.
