A BIG thanks to Ava and Sydney for raising $100 to support Edmonton's Food Bank!

After watching the movie, Pay It Forward, students were asked to create a project that would help make a difference in their community. Ava and Sydney chose to support the Food Bank by organizing a bottle drive. Their efforts help us keep our shelves stocked and our trucks fueled so we can continue serving our community!

Thank YOU for paying it forward!

Great job

We were happy to welcome back our friends from Generously Giving Back (GGB) to our warehouse for a volunteer shift!

GGB is a group that generously donates their time to help fellow Edmontonians, with a mission of alleviating poverty by supplying individuals and families with essential resources to sustain a decent quality of life. Thank YOU, friends!

For winter 2025-2026, Edmonton has significantly expanded, aiming for roughly 500 additional daytime shelter spaces, with 300+ opening by early December, supported by a $1 million city investment. While the province maintains that 24/7 emergency shelters have capacity, high demand continues, with over 5,000 people experiencing homelessness, prompting extra shuttle services to run through March 31, 2026.
Key highlights for the Winter 2025 shelter season:
Daytime Spaces: To combat extreme cold, four locations have extended hours through 2026, including The Mustard Seed (Strandcona/Canora), Boyle Street (wawahtewa Arts & Culture Hub), and iHuman Youth Society.
Winter Shuttle Service: Free shuttles, including a 24/7 option by Hope Mission, run until March 31, 2026, transporting individuals from transit stations and other areas to available shelters.
Capacity and Need: While new spots exist, some agencies report consistent demand that often fills available spaces. The city, under Mayor Andrew Knack, prioritized these services in November 2025 to ensure safety.
Demographics: The homeless population, roughly 5,000, has a high proportion of Indigenous individuals, representing over 55% of the total, despite making up only 5% of Edmonton's population.
Support Services: Besides overnight beds, the city and partners are focusing on providing warm daytime spaces, food, and specialized youth services.
