Water Warriors YEG was founded in the summer of 2020 to fill the gap for Edmonton's unhoused community's access to water.

We started with a borrowed wagon and begging for supplies from our friends and family, to now being able to assist approximately 300 of our brothers and sisters each week.

We are able to supply water, snacks, clothing, harm reduction and hope to our community members. Our team is mobile, so we go to where we are needed, reaching folks that have mobility and addiction issues. We never just "drop and go". We make connections, we listen, we help as we are able. We advocate and offer supports as needed.

We are inclusive. We have many volunteers that have lived experience and want to give back to the community. We are a religion free group. We are trauma informed, de-escalation ready and truth and reconciliation aware.

We are a registered charity with the Alberta government and are currently working on our Federal charity status. We are also in the process of training our Harm Reduction "Poisoning Response Team" which will be able to assist with Naloxone administration and harm reduction supply distribution.
