History
This Centre has a history of over 40 years. In 1961, the Centre began operations under the auspices of the Calgary Roman Catholic Diocese and the Calgary Interfaith Community Action Committee. It provided services from different locations in the east end of the city.
In 1977 the two groups amalgamated, and the present Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre was founded. The Centre is governed by the Board of Directors of the Calgary Drop-In Centre Society, an incorporated, non-denominational, non-profit, charitable organization. It is administered by a full time staff and volunteers.
