Information
Your donation restores dignity, stability, and hope to individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Red Deer, Alberta, and surrounding communities. Every dollar directly supports programs that provide housing, healing, and empowerment.
Turning homelessness into hope
Every day in Red Deer, families, youth, and individuals face homelessness. The 2024 Point-in-Time count found over 766 people without stable housing, more than double two years ago. Behind this are children without stories, parents with overwhelming burdens, and individuals losing hope of rebuilding their lives.
Why Hopebeam?
At HopeBeam Foundation, we believe homelessness is more than lacking a roof. It’s losing stability, dignity, and opportunity. Unlike others focused on temporary shelter, HopeBeam offers safe transitional housing, counseling, skills training, and tailored support for families and youth, guiding them toward independence.
