We are glad you are here! Our new site is both a website and a blog. We will still have the “fixed” pages that all websites have – pages that provide information about our programs, how to volunteer or donate, and other information you would expect to find on any website.
The blog function of our site is where you can read the latest news, story, update, or see the latest video. This format will allow Bissell Centre to offer more to you online than a traditional website.
So much of what we do is dependent on individuals and groups who contribute needed items to Bissell Centre, which we distribute to those we serve. Here is a list of things we are looking for:
Adult Socks and Undergarments (New please)
Water/wind-proof hats & glove
Kids toques & mitts
Coats & sweaters
Towels, blankets, & sleeping bags
Snowsuits & boots for children
Personal hygiene items (new)
Coffee, sugar, powdered cream
Baby formula, lotions, shampoos, and baby wipes, diapers & pull-ups
Frozen, canned & luncheon meat
Fresh, frozen or canned fruit & vegetables
For more information on in-kind donations, contact Barb – bnickel@bissellcentre.org or 780.423.2285 ext. 159.
Through our vision to eliminate poverty in our community, and guided by a passionate concern for the dignity and well being of each individual, Bissell Centre’s work is based on building relationships, hope and trust.
Our mission is to work with others to empower people to move from poverty to prosperity. We enable people to meet their own basic daily needs, participate in community, have sustainable livelihoods, feel hope for the future and make plans for a prosperous life.
