Mission Statement
Boyle Street Community Services is an inner-city agency in Edmonton that assists individuals and families challenged by homelessness and poverty. First established in 1971 as a small storefront operation, the agency has grown to meet the needs of its client community, and now each year more than 12,000 people – more than 80% of whom are of Indigenous descent – access the wide range of supports and services which are available.
About This Cause
Many of our clients are either sleeping rough outdoors or in shelters. They are all facing multiple barriers to inclusion and many are marginalized because of their ethnicity and poverty. We do all we can to support them, both at our inner city community centre, as well across the city. We provide cultural, outreach, mental health, housing, family and youth, and employment services as well as a drop-in where the community can enjoy great food, warmth and companionship. We serve people of all ages, and have several group homes across Edmonton which are for children and at-risk youth ranging in age from two to 17.
