Find is a social enterprise of Homeward Trust Edmonton providing essential furnishings free of charge to people who are transitioning out of homelessness, and supplies low-cost, quality furniture and housewares for sale to the public. 

For Housing Month, join FIND for a month-long donation drive by donating your gently used furniture and household goods to support people transitioning out of homelessness. 

Find out how you can help by visiting here. 

Throughout November, our distinctive Find trucks can be seen across Edmonton — delivering essential furniture to people moving out of homelessness and picking up community donations that help furnish new homes.

If you see the Find Truck, snap a picture and participate in our contest for a chance to win.

Learn more here. 

Every November, with our nonprofit agency partners and housing month committee, we host Supportive Housing visits to give the public an opportunity to learn more about how Supportive Housing plays a critical role in achieving long-term sustainable solutions to preventing and ending homelessness.

Sign up for free below!

*Please note the visit will not include touring occupied suites as these are people’s homes; however, we will visit common areas, learn more about onsite programming, and visit a suite if there is one vacant.
