Critical Needs – Chalice | Sponsor a Child

Chalice’s critical needs program responds to situations which, if not urgently addressed, will endanger or severely impede the life of a person and/or family. ‘Critical needs’ include medical emergencies, treatment for grave, chronic, or congenital conditions, and localized catastrophes such as housefires or major storm damage. Chalice often has many more critical needs to meet than are posted online. For more information, contact Wilson at 1-800-776-6855 or planagift@chalice.ca
