The heart behind Kids Kottage
|
|
People can be caught off guard when they hear there is a need for a children's shelter. The entire purpose of Kids Kottage is to keep children safe and families strong. This video explains how we work toward our mission, provide support for families in need, and prevent crises in family systems.
We have provided a safe haven for over 27,000 children since our inception in 1995, and helped thousands of more families through our crisis hotline. Less than 3% of families who use our services require government intervention afterward.
Parents or caregivers come to us in need of relief. Whether they are struggling with extreme poverty, homelessness, mental or physical illness, inter-generational trauma, lack of familial support, our clients need help keeping their children safe while they figure out the road to a brighter future.

Since opening in the summer of 1995, Kids Kottage has provided safe refuge for over 27,000 infants and children and has helped over 14,000 caregivers. The past 25 years of partnering with loyal supporters and donors have enabled Kids Kottage to prevent families from falling further into crisis.
And it's time to celebrate! We want to take the time to highlight 25 years of stories from past Kottage Kids, supporters, and workers from the Kottage. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and we will all come together in celebration of what this organization, and our community as a whole, has done throughout the years.
25 years of keeping children safe and families strong. 25 years of working together to build a stronger community. 25 years of serving Edmonton's most vulnerable; the children.
Would you like to help us provide a safe place for infants and children in need?
