Clothing Programs

Current Program — Crisis Clothing Delivery

Our Crisis Clothing Delivery Program operates year-round, with expanded capacity during Alberta’s winter months when inadequate clothing poses serious health risks for people experiencing homelessness. Providing appropriate seasonal clothing is a cost-effective and humane way to prevent cold-related injuries and reduce strain on emergency and healthcare systems.

Through ongoing individual and corporate donations, we collect, process, and distribute essential clothing to individuals facing barriers to traditional services. Items unsuitable for distribution are redirected to partner organizations to ensure minimal waste.

Clothing is distributed every Thursday without exception in Edmonton’s downtown core, ensuring consistent and reliable access amid demand that continues to exceed available resources.

Future Program — Crisis Clothing Delivery Expansion

Building on the success of the Crisis Clothing Delivery Program, our next phase focuses on increasing capacity, inclusivity, and distribution frequency to better meet community needs. Central to this expansion is the acquisition of a very large box truck with organized storage systems, which will allow us to transport and distribute significantly more clothing, carry a full range of sizes to serve diverse needs, and provide faster, more dignified access during distribution.

We are also working on securing a larger space for sorting and processing donations, improving efficiency, storage and organization. With this increased capacity and more structured operation, we aim to expand distribution beyond once per week, reach a wider geographic area, and deploy effectively during emergencies, including wildfires and other environmental crises.

Mobility is our priority.
