I’ve been spending some time at the Hope Mission as part of a course for University. I find it strangely amazing: I was standing a the door of the mission, handing out blankets cleaned by someone else and a sandwich made by another’s hands, and probably 140 out of 160 looked me straight in the eye and said thank you. It was humbling that so many of them took the time to ‘see’ me when at university I can walk the entire day and make eye contact with half a dozen people and all of them act embarrassed that it happened. -HM Volunteer

Freeze your buns off to help the homeless

Hope Mission — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:36:56 +0000

On February 25, 2012, Hope Mission is hosting the Coldest Night of the Year, a 5 and 10 km walk in downtown Edmonton. February is a cold and challenging month for the people we serve, and it’s also one of the quietest months for financial support. Our goal is to raise $25,000 in support of Hope Mission’s work with the hungry, homeless and hurting in our city. Help us help those in need and join us for a walk on February 25!

Perspective – The Cold And The Homeless

Hope Mission — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:34:28 +0000

Last week, Alberta broke its record for electricity usage. With temperatures dipping as low as -45, it’s not difficult to see why Edmonton’s furnaces were running in full force. I know mine certainly was. While homelessness is something the majority of us likely contemplate only on occasion, I know the cold that’s met me on my doorstep this week has certainly been a constant, sobering reminder of the harsh conditions many displaced people in our city daily face.

Nearly 2,500 individuals in Edmonton are homeless (according to the most recent count 15 months ago). Instead of complaining about my electricity bill this winter, I’m attempting to cultivate an attitude of awareness and gratitude, and invite you to as well. Consider making a donation to Hope Mission over the next couple of months, when the hot meals and warm shelter we provide is most needed. We are so thankful to those who generously give their time and resources. Please know that your help enables us to save lives each winter. Carmyn

Family serves Christmas eve dinner in honour of lost loved one

Hope Mission — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 22:26:24 +0000

A family is serving dinner tonight in honour of a former guest and friend of Hope Mission. We asked if they would share a paragraph or two about their efforts that they call The Friends of Jordie.

Here’s what they shared.

The Friends of Jordie are donations gathered from friends and family to provide a couple of special meals each year to those who use the Hope Mission. The whole idea began one Christmas Eve at our family dinner with friends. Instead of the regular gift exchange it was decided that the money would go to much better use given to the Hope Mission. Since then, people connected with our family and friends have been extremely generous, not only with donations but also giving food, clothes and their time to help others. The Sorrentino’s Group and Fuss Cupcakes, who both had connections to Jordie, have also been incredibly giving and supportive.

We are constantly amazed how much attention and awareness this has raised among people who knew Jordie and know us. It’s very special that friends of Jordie are giving and friends of Jordie are receiving. We are grateful to the Hope Mission – to the food and shelter the Mission provided for Jordie in his time of need. All the generous donations from friends and family are our way of giving back, helping others in their time of need. Jordie touched many lives and through this fund will continue to do so.

Nancy, Neil and Catherine

Thank you friends and family of Jordie for making Christmas special for those in need! We appreciate you so much!
