In 1929, Reverend Harold Edwardson established a soup kitchen in Edmonton’s inner-city serving meals to hundreds of people struggling with unemployment and homelessness at the onset of the Depression.

Today, Hope Mission has grown into a not-for-profit Christian social care agency providing daily meals and life-changing care for thousands of impoverished men, women and children in Alberta.

Basic and emergency care are provided to more than 800 people daily as well as counsel and referral services for men, women, and youth. Each day Hope Mission provides over 1700 meals and shelter for more than 600 people. Specialized care and treatment are offered for men and women through faith-based addiction treatment programs. Hope Mission also facilitates Alberta-wide after-school recreation and hot meal programs for children, summer camps for inner-city children and youth, and operates a year-round Youth Sports Centre.

Hope Mission continues to reach out to the inner-city community through special seasonal meals and events and personal contact. We operate a 24/7 Rescue Van which provides emergency care for people in need. Counselors, chaplains and volunteers visit people on the street, in prisons, hospitals and other agencies. Furthermore, Hope Mission’s Hope Bargain Shoppe provides clients with clothing, blankets and workwear while generating revenue which directly supports our programs and services.

In all, our desire is to provide compassionate care and offer hope to the hurting and hungry across Alberta.
