Based out of Amiskwacîwâskahikan (Beaver Hills House/The City of Edmonton), we mobilize teams of 3-5 volunteers to serve structurally vulnerable community members. Our goal is to narrow service gaps and increase low-barrier access to harm-reduction supplies, basic necessities, and service navigation outside the typical operating hours of larger organizations. Our volunteers are trained to respond to drug poisonings in an informed and dignified way. Our team descends into the LRT System in the winter months, where our community often finds shelter.

The idea of meeting people where they are and walking alongside them in their journeys is the core of harm reduction. Through a trauma-informed approach, we provide non-judgmental support to those that have often felt cast aside.


We hold these connections close to our hearts.
