Who, What, Where, When, Why, How?
Who We Are
Compassion Culture Charity is an Alberta-based crisis intervention nonprofit made up of a small army of dedicated individuals with a wide variety of 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. 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 essentials. 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.
4. Healthcare
Connection to compassionate, discrimination-free healthcare.
5. Emergency Support
Immediate crisis intervention and dependable emergency assistance.
Where We Operate
Our organization is headquartered in Alberta, with most operations based in Edmonton’s inner city. A core part of our mission is building a truly mobile and adaptable organization that can reach people wherever they are — on the streets, in encampments, shelters, incarceration settings, soup kitchens, disaster-affected communities, remote reservations, and other places where traditional services cannot keep pace. Mobility remains a top priority.
When We Operate
We operate 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Day & night. Rain or shine.
Why We Started
Initially formed in 2023, officially founded in 2025, Compassion Culture was created in response to rising social, economic, and environmental crises across Canada, challenges our founders and volunteers have personally experienced within their own families and communities.
We are constantly responding to a reality shaped by:
A recent spike in suicide rates
Over a 50% increase in homelessness in many communities across Alberta since 2018
A historic increase in wildfires and natural disasters across Canada
Over a 400% rise in fentanyl-related overdoses and narcotic related injuries over the past decade
A surge over the last decade in sexual trafficking
Domestic violence statistics massively spiking in the past 6 years
Food banks operating beyond capacity across Canada
Hospitals struggling to keep up with overwhelming mental health & addiction-related concerns
Amid record-breaking addiction, economic instability, homelessness, and crisis, Compassion Culture is committed to being a steady source of hope. We exist to fill the critical gap in mobile support, ensuring help is consistently available and able to reach people wherever they are.
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 pursuing partnerships with other charitable organizations that have similar goals. On top of this we are constantly striving to work with municipal, provincial, and federal government agencies.
