Warmth and hope in a backpack
Discover how Armor of Light Recovery Society brings essential support to those in need during the harsh winter months. Learn about our Winter Backpack program and how it provides hope and resources to our community's most vulnerable.
Essential support for those in need
Each year, Armor of Light, in partnership with IMPACT Wainwright & Area, and WDFCSS, creates and distributes winter backpacks filled with essential items. These backpacks contain items such as hand/foot warmers, toques, gloves, toothbrushes, toothpaste, granola bars, a towel, facecloth, shampoo, conditioner, a comb, and an emergency blanket. They are distributed throughout the winter months to individuals living rough, providing much-needed comfort and support.
Providing hope and resources
Our Winter Backpack program is more than just providing supplies; it's about offering hope and connection to those struggling with homelessness and hardship. By providing essentials, we aim to improve their immediate well-being and connect them with further resources and support for long-term stability. A simple backpack can make a significant difference in someone's life during the cold winter months.
What makes our program special?

We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness in Wainwright, Alberta, and tailor our backpacks to meet their specific needs.
