ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub

A Community Hub Creating Lasting Change

ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub — formerly Adventist Community Services (ACS) — is a growing community hub operated under ADRA Canada in partnership with the Seventh-day Adventist Church and a network of local organizations.

Located in Winnipeg’s Elmwood neighbourhood, the ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub exists to meet urgent needs today while building pathways toward long-term stability, dignity, and well-being for individuals and families across the community.

Rooted in compassion, collaboration, and empowerment, ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub serves as a trusted, accessible space where community members can find practical support, connection, and hope — regardless of background or circumstance.

Meeting Urgent Needs and Building Long-Term Capacity

ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub currently supports 100–120 families every month through food distribution, emergency assistance, and seasonal programs, including school supply drives and Christmas hampers. These essential services address immediate food insecurity and financial pressure while maintaining dignity and respect for those served.

Beyond emergency relief, ADRA Winnipeg Community Hub is intentionally evolving into a multi-purpose community hub focused on long-term outcomes. Community consultations identified clear priorities, including job readiness, access to healthy food and cooking skills, and mental health and wellness supports services — especially for youth and families.
