Every simple act creates a ripple~and we see the impact daily.

Hope rises when we each do a small thing with great love.

We serve in the communities of Northeast Edmonton, with calls coming in from all over the city, for food, clothing, and community. Most services at Building Hope are volunteer-run. We try to do a lot with the little we have, and rely heavily on donations. Will you help us build hope, one neighbour at a time?
Learn more at www.buildinghopeedmonton.ca, where you can find out how to donate or volunteer. Every little bit helps.

True worship leads us into justice and hospitality. God's heart is for both the spiritual and physical needs of people.

How will your hands and feet take you to worship?

At Building Hope, we’ve been loving our neighbours since 2000. We give hope and help to those needing the most basic things - food, clothing, and community.

With the dedication of our volunteers, staff, and partners, we strive to improve the lives of those in the community of Beverly and the surrounding communities of NE Edmonton.

Building Hope sees an increasing number of clients as the weather warms. Any donation is welcome to help us provide hope and help for those in need. Please drop off donations at 3831 116 Ave in Edmonton (Beverly area) between 9-3 Monday to Wednesday. We would be so grateful!

If you're looking for ideas of how to support a loved one who is struggling, here are some simple suggestions. The list is not exhaustive. It's important that we respect boundaries that others might set regarding their privacy. And we must never take on more than we can handle.

We are not medical doctors or psychological professionals. This information should never be misconstrued as professional advice. Always be careful to help them seek professional help.

There is evidence that the more severe a mental illness, the harder it is to maintain stable housing. Likewise, finding stable housing has a positive effect on those with less severe mental struggles. Both of these situations make it clear that housing is foundational in a person's mental health.

At Building Hope, we do what we can to support those who are challenged by mental health and housing issues. We are grateful for all those who support this work and help us bring hope and help to Northeast Edmonton.

Recently, our Executive Director arrived at Building Hope on a bitterly cold day when we were technically closed. He found a man standing outside—no coat, no protection from the wind, and nowhere else to go.

In that moment, the "stats" didn't matter. What mattered was finding a sweater, a heavy coat, and a bag of food to get him through the night.

We are seeing more and more faces from outside Beverly as other shelters and centers across Edmonton close or move. We know this puts a new kind of pressure on our neighborhood, and we feel that weight, too. But stories like this remind us why we stay. We’ve never served this many people before, and for many, we are the only "safe landing" left.

The need is growing—and we want to be ready to meet it with dignity, not just for our guests, but for our community.

Will you help us meet this rising need? Whether it’s through volunteering, donating, or simply praying for our team and neighbors, every action multiplies hope.
