Who We Are

Compassion Culture Charity is an Alberta-based crisis intervention nonprofit made up of a small army of dedicated individuals with extensive volunteer experience. We all work hard to provide rapid, reliable support to individuals and families facing urgent and emergency circumstances across Canada, with a primary focus on Alberta.

Our guiding principle is simple: See a need, fill a need. We strive to fill in the gaps and make sure less people fall through the cracks. We specialize in meeting people wherever they are within the midst of crisis and loss.

What We Do

We are committed to ensuring that people in crisis can access the essential supports they need to regain health, stability, self respect, safety and purpose. Our work is rooted in five core pillars:

1. Food

Nutritious, dependable food sources for individuals and families of all backgrounds.

2. Clothing

Appropriate, weather-suitable clothing for people of all ages, shapes and sizes.

3. Shelter

Support in finding safe, stable, and secure housing at an affordable rate.

4. Healthcare

Connection to compassionate, discrimination-free healthcare.

5. Emergency Support

Immediate crisis intervention and dependable emergency assistance.

We specialize in helping people secure the basics—quickly and without barriers.

See a need, fill a need. Especially a basic requirement for human survival.

Where We Operate

Our organization is headquartered in Alberta, with most operations currently based in Edmonton’s inner city.

Thanks to our mobile care units we are able to go anywhere we are needed. A core part of our mission is continuing to build out a truly mobile and adaptable organization. We are continually developing the capability to reach people exactly where they are, whether on the streets, in encampments, in shelters, in incarceration, soup kitchens, communities hit by natural disasters, remote reservations or in places and circumstances where traditional services simply cannot keep pace. Mobility is a priority.

See a need, fill a need. Wherever that need may be. 

North, South, East or West.

When We Operate

We try to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Unfortunately due to volunteer availability sometimes we miss a day or 2.

Our goal is to ALWAYS have at least one mobile crisis unit on call and ready to respond.

See a need, fill a need. Day or night. Rain or shine.

Why We Started

Compassion Culture was founded in 2025 in response to the unprecedented rise of social, economic, and environmental crises across Canada. Each of our founders and volunteers has personally witnessed the impact of these challenges within their own families and communities. 

We are constantly responding to a reality shaped by:

• The highest suicide rates in modern Canadian history
  
  

• Over a 50% increase in homelessness in Alberta since COVID
  
  

• A historic increase in wildfires and natural disasters across Canada
  
  

• Over a 1000% rise in fentanyl-related overdoses and narcotic related injuries over the past decade
  
  

• A surge over the last decade in child exploitation and sex trafficking
  
  

• Domestic violence statistics over tripling in the past five years
  
  

• Food banks operating beyond capacity
  
  

• Hospitals struggling to keep up with overwhelming mental health & addiction-related concerns
  
  

In a time of record breaking addiction, homelessness, and crisis, Compassion Culture aims to be a beacon of hope and a steady source of support for those who need it most. Every member of CCC holds the belief that there is an extreme lack of organizations that offer 24/7 around the clock mobile support. We desperately want to fill that gap and ensure that help is constantly available and mobile. Crisis never sleeps and neither do we.

How We Make It Happen

Our programs are made possible by the incredible generosity of private donors and the dedication of a committed, tightly knit volunteer team.

We are also actively developing partnerships with municipal, provincial, and federal politicians & agencies to expand our services and strengthen our impact.
