Building Hope

It’s a common question: Is substance use a cause of homelessness, or a result of it?

The reality is a difficult cycle. The trauma and stress of not having a safe place to sleep often lead neighbors to seek any form of relief. Unfortunately, that relief often leads to chronic illness and deeper mental health struggles.

At Building Hope, we know these challenges are complicated. But we believe that structure and support are the first steps toward a healthier state of mind. Whether it’s through accessible healthcare or simply a safe place to be known, we are working to provide a path out of the cycle.

Join us in praying for wisdom as we navigate these complexities with compassion and safety.

As the temperatures rise, staying hydrated becomes even more crucial, especially for those who are homeless or nearly homeless. Access to fresh, cool water can make a huge difference in these hotter months.

At Building Hope Compassionate Ministry in Northeast Edmonton, we’re committed to providing this essential resource. But we need your help! We're asking for donations of bottled water to support our efforts to bring hope and help to those in need. .

Your generous donation can help keep someone safe and healthy during the summer. Please consider contributing and making a difference in our community.

Donations of bottled water can be dropped off at 3831 116th Ave, Edmonton Monday to Wednesday from 9 to 3. Or you can call 1 780-479-4504 to set up a time for dropoff.

Thank you for being so supportive! Stay cool!

We work hard to help where we can, but mental health supports are hard to access for so many, and especially for those who live unhoused with food insecurity.

One of the reasons we dream of having a staff chaplain available when we are serving meals is to at least offer some support and someone to talk to. What we do have right now is a community where people, hopefully, will feel less alone.

We are always looking for support to realize the dream of providing more support for our clients. You can help.
