Marvel College and Studio 107 staff are generously donating their time to cut the children’s hair. Please call in or email to make a hair appointment and to let either Suzan or Fay know if your child needs a backpack and what grade they are going in to.
Some of our wonderful community partners will be here to meet you as well. And a light lunch will be served and there will be some gently used clothing to choose from.

For more information, please contact Suzan (ext 1) or Fay (ext 3) at 780.459.0599 or email: [email protected].

Our client numbers are continuing to increase, we saw a 30% increase overall in 2015 but are confident we, along with our generous donors, can weather this economic downturn and be able to provide the services our clients require.

Our Community Village prevention programs have never been more important than during these times, and we will continue to provide the support needed.

What does homelessness look like for people in St. Albert? We want to find out so we can develop ways to prevent it in the future. We also want to make sure people have the right kinds of supports so they can access suitable housing. Are you or someone you know living in the St. Albert/Sturgeon County area and without a permanent address? Staying with friends or relatives? In imminent danger of losing their home? Couch surfing for more than a few days? If you answered yes to any of the above, you are asked to consider participating in the research study aimed at understanding the housing issues of those in the St. Albert / Sturgeon county area.

Your participation is appreciated. Please complete the survey here.
