Hockey Helps the Homeless

More than 250,000 Canadians experience homelessness each year.

You can help.

The hard facts about homelessness. On any given night more than 35,000 people, many of them women and small children, face the world homeless and alone. Thousands more are among the "hidden homeless," moving from place to place, without options, without hope. How can this happen in one of the world's richest nations?

Partnerships make a difference.

At Hockey Helps the Homeless, we're working towards a future where every Canadian has a place to call home. The money raised through our fantasy hockey tournaments help to fund the work of 40 homeless support agencies that share our goal of ending homelessness. Funds raised in your community stay in your community, providing immediate relief through shelters and survival kits, and supporting longer term needs including transitional housing projects and return-to-work training programs that help to restore the dignity and independence of homeless people.

From the ice to the street: Helping in your community.

At Hockey Helps the Homeless we use the power of Canada's favourite sport to give homeless Canadians a chance to start over. Thanks to our many sponsors, and participants like you, we've raised over $8 million so far, enabling us to make a difference for homeless men, women and youth in communities like yours.
