A rescue van is about more than transportation.
Every ride is a chance to build trust and connect someone to shelter, housing, addiction recovery, or mental health support.

The Red Deer shelter is getting new bed dividers installed this week. These panels provide additional dignity and privacy for shelter guests.
Hope Mission began operating the shelter on April 1. It offers 136 permanent, semi-private sleeping spaces—including bunk beds and single-style beds—along with extra sleeping mats for surge capacity. #reddeer

A ride can save a life.
Transportation can be a significant barrier to getting help, but a 24/7 shuttle removed that obstacle this past winter by safely transporting 13,232 people to shelters and hospitals over 149 days.
In partnership with the @CityofEdmonton, this video highlights the profound impact the program continues to have on vulnerable neighbours in the community.
