About Bissell Centre

Walk for Bissell!


Too many individuals and families in our community struggle with poverty and homelessness, and during winter’s coldest months, those challenges become even harder to bear. On February 22, brave the cold with us to change lives.


At Bissell Centre, we are working in community to remove barriers and support people as they move out of poverty. Guided by a deep commitment to dignity and well-being, we offer programs and resources that help individuals secure housing, connect with family supports, and build pathways to stability.


Funds raised through this walk will support the people who turn to our Community Space—a safe, welcoming place to find connection, access life-changing programs, and take the first steps toward a brighter future.


Together, we can create meaningful change and re-write the future for those who feel hopeless, afraid, and alone.
