What is the Essential Assistance Program?

Essential Assistance Program

​

Our Essential Assistance Program is here to support individuals and families in Edmonton, Alberta, who are facing financial challenges. We aim to help people avoid further hardship by providing essential food and supplies when they need it most. These families are doing their best—they just need a little extra support during tough times.

​

What We Offer

​

While our focus is primarily on providing essential groceries, we understand that individuals and families often need more than just food. When available, we also offer additional supplies such as:

• Personal hygiene products

• Household items

• Clothing and blankets

Please note that while we do our best to meet specific requests, our ability to provide specialty items may be limited. We will do everything we can to accommodate your needs when possible.

​

How the Program Works

​

Our program operates on an appointment-only basis and serves the Edmonton area exclusively. Unfortunately, we do not offer shipping services. If you're outside this area, we encourage you to reach out to your local food bank or community support center for assistance.
