With Thanksgiving approaching, we should recognize and be thankful for the dozens of organizations and thousands of people who work every day to make life better for our vulnerable and precariously housed or homeless people in Edmonton.

ECOHH will be partnering with different organizations over the coming year to provide recognition and support. First up, on October 8 we’ll be hosting an in-person general meeting to support 4B Harm Reduction (https://4bharmredux.org/). We’ll be helping with the hands-on work of packaging mutual aid supplies for distribution to people on the street, learning about harm reduction and the impact of the public spaces bylaw, and creating some placards and protest signs for ECOHH’s National Housing Day of Action event in November.

Donation List:

• Backpacks/duffle bags

• Socks

• Snacks - chips, bars

• Water/sports drinks

• Hygiene packs in plastic ziplocs - toothbrush, toothpaste, body wipes, hand sanitizer

• Hand/foot warmers

• Emergency blanket

Please join us if you can. If you can’t please consider donating some of the supplies on the donation list and dropping them at Earth’s Refillery beforehand, or donating some funding directly to 4B to support their work.

Thank you! Be thankful, be mindful. The world isn’t that generous to some of our community right now.
