Thank You ECECAF

April 7, 2025

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the Edmonton Civic Employees Charitable Assistance Fund (ECECAF) for their generous support towards the safety and security of our centre. Thanks to their contribution, we were able to upgrade our front door security—helping us protect the women and children who call our centre home. ECECAF, which has been in existence in Edmonton since 1941, is made possible by over 11,000 participating members contributing a portion of their salaries to charitable services. 

In 2024, ECECAF supported 28 charities with a total of $1.7 million in donations. Adeara was honoured to be one of them. 

At Adeara, safety isn’t just a priority—it’s a necessity. Many of the women who come through our doors are overcoming severe addictions and have faced vulnerable situations. Having a secure environment is the first step in their healing journey. In 2024, we recognized a need for some security upgrades, and thanks to ECECAF, we were able to reinforce our front door and increase the privacy of the building. These changes mean greater peace of mind for everyone at Adeara. 

With ECECAF’s generosity and the support of our community, we can continue offering a safe and secure space for women and their children as they rebuild their lives. 

Thank you, ECECAF, for believing in our mission and making a real difference in the lives of the women we serve!
