About

Helping our Community since 1986, and Edmonton's Only Downtown Thrift store!!

Story

The Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society (EERSS) was first established in 1986 in response to a tragic fire. They are a small group of people dedicated to serving victims of fire and disaster by helping them with the basic supplies such as household necessities, and furniture—all this support is given at no cost to the people in need.

We are Supported in Part by the Edmonton Community Foundation. A big THANK YOU to the Edmonton Community Foundation for their generous donation to help us provide our Fire/Disaster victims with much-needed material relief.

We work hand-in-hand with the Red Cross and the Edmonton Fire Department to assist individuals and families who have been devastated with by a personal disaster..

Our on-site store sells clothing, new and second-hand furniture, all kinds of household goods and toys at very affordable prices and we are open to the public. These items are perfect for general every day use. These items can also be great for Birthdays and even Christmas. EERSS also carries brand new items donated by major store chains such as returned items and overstocked items.

The items have been donated to us from stores and the general public. The revenue from the store and other donations are used to support the services we offer to ALL communities in Alberta and other provinces.
