5 Years in Red Deer!
As we celebrate our fifth year of growing hope in Red Deer, we want to give a huge thank you to our amazing donors, volunteers, and community.
Because of your support, over the past five years we have been able to serve over half a million meals to those in need, while also providing valuable programs and services such as health and wellness, advocacy, and spiritual care.
We would not be able to serve our most vulnerable community members without your generosity and commitment. Thank you for helping us build hope and well-being for those experiencing poverty and homelessness in Central Alberta!
