Donate

Homeward Trust coordinates resources towards community efforts to end homelessness. This includes funding from all orders of government, and supporting volunteers and organizations working together to achieve that goal.

When you decide to donate, you are making a commitment to your community. Your donation helps ensure a better future for those experiencing homelessness and at-risk individuals in Edmonton.

Ways to donate:

One of the best ways to help a community member in need is through a financial donation. Your generous contribution will make a difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness or at-risk individuals.

If you would like to make a financial donation we would love to talk to you about your priorities and where we can support you in making an impact. Please email donate@homewardtrust.ca and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.

*Please note at this time, Homeward Trust is unable to issue receipts that qualify for charitable tax benefits.

Find Edmonton and Bissell Thrift Shoppe are a couple of local organizations that accept certain kinds of new or gently used household items, furniture and clothing. Please refer to their websites for specific details on what they can accept, and up to date information on the types of items that are most in need.

There are also certain kind of items that are needed on a seasonal basis, such as bottled water when summer temperatures become unbearably hot, or winter gear to help stay warm during our incredibly cold Edmonton winters. Please watch our website and social media channels for regular updates on what is needed at certain times.

If you require more information or have specific questions about where a donation of this kind is most needed, please email donate@homewardtrust.ca and we will follow up with you as soon as possible.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We recognize we are gathered, in collaboration and with joint purpose, on Treaty 6 territory. This territory is the home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Inuit, and many others. We know the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities and that only in partnership can we create the social change necessary to end homelessness. It is vital that we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work. It is important to recognize and address the conditions brought forth by colonialism. Displacement from traditional homelands, systemic racism, residential schools, the Sixties Scoop, and the ongoing overrepresentation of Indigenous people in child welfare, correctional systems, and homelessness are responsibilities we all share.
