Hope lives in the heart of our city.
At Bissell Centre, we believe in a future where everyone has what they need to thrive. For over 100 years, we’ve walked alongside people experiencing poverty and homelessness. We believe in the power of dignity, community, and opportunity — and that everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.
Every day in Edmonton, individuals and families turn to us as they navigate housing instability, financial challenges, and social isolation. Whether it’s supporting parents with young children, helping someone stay in their home, or creating space for Indigenous community members to connect with culture and ceremony — our work is grounded in dignity, trust, and lasting relationships.
We focus on prevention and stabilization — because real change starts long before crisis and continues long after. By supporting Bissell Centre’s Endowment Fund, you help create a sustainable source of funding that strengthens our work for generations to come.
This is more than charity — it’s community building. Together, we are creating a future where everyone belongs.
Working in community, we remove barriers and support people as they move out of poverty.
Bissell Centre supports thousands of Edmontonians each year with a wide range of services that promote housing stability, financial wellness, parenting and family resilience, and cultural connection.
Because of our community’s support, people who once felt invisible are finding belonging. Families are staying in their homes. Indigenous Elders and youth are gathering in ceremony. And people who once lived in constant survival mode are building meaningful, stable lives.
We are not waiting for change — we are creating it, together.
A gift to Bissell Centre’s Endowment Fund becomes part of someone’s story of healing, strength, and transformation.
Your support helps prevent homelessness before it begins, supports families to stay strong and connected, and makes space for cultural renewal and reconciliation. Endowment gifts fuel innovation, fill gaps between programs, and help ensure Bissell Centre can respond to emerging needs for years to come.
Your gift is more than generosity. It’s hope in action. And it helps create a stronger, more caring community — today and for future generations.
Let your story include a chapter that helps someone find home.
