A Necessary Alternative Welcomed In Mercy
ANAWIM is a Hebrew word meaning "God's Poor".

ANAWIM Place provides food and outreach programs to the less fortunate people living in Edmonton's inner-city.

Under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Providence, ANAWIM Place opened its doors in November 1988 as an emergency resource for those in need. It operates as a food depot two days and week in cooperation with the Edmonton Food Bank.

Service to others at ANAWIM Place is rooted in the compassionate love for the less fortunate. A compassionate love which considers each person as a gift of God. Members of Holy Angels Province, with a host of volunteers, ensure ANAWIM's success by operating the food depot each week.
