SUMMER SURPRISE
SUMMER SURPRISE. “Corpus Christi School`s Leadership Group” collected bottles all school year
Jasper Place Health and Wellness Center
Nearly 2,600 people call Edmonton streets home. Edmonton’s inner city is overcrowded with the transient and homeless. Facilities to support the needs of this community have become stretched to their limits. Inner city streets are becoming increasingly dangerous. As a result, the poor & homeless gravitate to the Jasper Place area on Stony Plain Road to escape the stress which accompanies increasingly riskier inner city life.
To meet the need, local businessman, Murray Soroka, created the Jasper Place Drop in Society realizing his vision for a reinvigorated Jasper Place community. In consultation with community leaders and volunteers he set goals to
- bring a comprehensive social services solution to the Jasper Place Community through voluntary programs and partnerships with other agencies;
- offer a safe, warm, caring environment to the homeless and indigent;
- provide the homeless with a convenient temporary shelter from the elements that is accessible 10 – 12 hours a day and in emergency situations;
- promote God-centered relationships with guidance from the Christian community;
- provide the homeless with an opportunity to change their lifestyle; and
- Provide shelter and services at minimum cost to the community.
