Bissell Centre relies on the generosity of the community to make a difference in the lives of people living in poverty. Without your support, the future of many Edmontonians – adults and children alike – would be very bleak. No gift is too small when considering the impact it will have on the lives of the less fortunate.
There are a number of ways individuals, businesses large and small, church groups, schools and other groups can support the mission and vision of Bissell Centre:
