Challenging Stereotypes: The Human Faces of Edmonton’s Homeless Community
As the festive season envelops us in warmth and joy, it's essential to extend that warmth to those facing the chill of winter with uncertainty. On Boxing Day, I had the privilege of joining Community Outreach YEG, once again, in a heartwarming initiative that went beyond the traditional act of providing food and clothing to the less fortunate. It was an experience that resonated with the true essence of community, connection, and empathy.

Our values and principles.
At Community Outreach YEG we take our core values and principles seriously. Our team support our decision to establish the following:
How do we save the hungry, on a global scale?
Saving the Hungry was born on the streets of Dar Es Salam in Tanzania in 2011, and now works to help Not for Profits in Central America, Africa, Asia and South America. Their projects are driven by the needs of the community we support, NOT by the needs of our volunteers, much like Community Outreach YEG.
