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.

Please note at this time, Homeward Trust is unable to issue charitable tax receipts for tax benefits as we are a non-profit but not a registered charity with the CRA.

2. Make a donation of specific items

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 traditional home and gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples. The nêhiyaw (Cree), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Dene, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux/Ojibwe), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), Inuit, and Métis, among many others cared for this land since time immemorial and continue to steward it today. As visitors in this territory, we honour the importance of the Treaty and our responsibility to these communities. Only in partnership can we create the changes necessary to end homelessness. It is vital we meaningfully engage and partner with Indigenous people and communities in this work while recognizing and addressing 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.
