Let’s share preloved fat finds with new fat friends!

We have community members in need of financial assistance as well as full time employment so they can continue supporting themselves and their family. They have limited mobility, so a desk job would be ideal.

The goal is to raise $2316 to cover April's expenses (rent, energy bill, car payment) so they can stay in their home.

All donations will go directly to the family as soon as they are received.

If you are able to, please send an e-transfer to

Please share this post far and wide!

Thank you from the bottom of our big fat hearts!

Summer Varey is the founder and organizer of a brand new market launching TOMORROW!! @FatMarketYYC is the very first fat liberation pop-up markets and events in Mohkinstsis, Treaty 7, Calgary, Alberta. Summer is a q***r, fat, woman who is bringing fat community and celebration to the forefront. As a fat person, she has experienced life in a way that has been different from those is straight-sized bodies, in a society that has a narrow view of what is considered “normal”. Through this, she has felt and seen a disconnect from community and access to the world. Using the word “fat” is an act of reclaiming it as a neutral descriptor for those who choose to identify as such. Her hope is to create safe and celebratory spaces for fat folx with fat liberation in mind. What is fat liberation? In the simplest terms: Fat liberation is the active dismantling of structures that prevent fat people from fully engaging in society and life. The Softest Launch Market is happening tomorrow, Saturday October 5th from 12-6 at the physically accessible Sunalta Community Association that includes a masked and sensory hour from 12 to 1pm. The market focuses on fat artists, makers, creators, visionaries and folx with fat-focused businesses. This is a safe space for those in larger bodies to gather, feel seen, and celebrated. Follow them on Instagram @fatmarketyyc for future markets and upcoming events. Congratulations, Summer!! This is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to see all of the fully inclusive spaces you create in the future!!
