Our Guiding Principles

Founded in 2021, Help-A-Homie was built on the roots of hope, kindness, and community. What started as a small group of university friends looking to make a real change, has blossomed into a community of empowered individuals making a difference in society, while spreading the same opportunity to others. Our volunteers are dedicated to extending a sense of team and community to those in need. We cannot wait to meet you and share in the excitement of making a positive change in the Edmonton area!
