Wild Rose Blankets and Hats for Warmth Foundation
Welcome
Wild Rose Blankets and Hats for Warmth Foundation is dedicated to bringing warmth and dignity to homeless and low-income families across Alberta. We believe everyone deserves comfort during the cold months, and we’re committed to making that happen—one handmade hat and afghan at a time.
Our Mission
We create hats and afghans for those who need them most. Every stitch represents care, compassion, and a commitment to our community. Your support makes this work possible.

In loving memory of “Pastor Les” and Sean
Pastor Les and Sean: A Legacy of Compassion
Two remarkable people shaped our community through quiet, consistent generosity. Pastor Les dedicated himself to lifting up those struggling in poverty, becoming a steady beacon of hope for anyone in need. Sean, though facing his own hardships, gave freely from what little he had—a coat, a meal, whatever someone needed. His generosity wasn’t grand; it was genuine.
Both men embodied a simple truth: compassion isn’t measured by what you have, but by what you’re willing to share.
Our Mission in Their Memory
We’ve launched a project to create blankets and hats for homeless and low-income members of our community. Every stitch honors Pastor Les and Sean’s legacy—a tangible way to extend the kindness they lived out daily.
Their example reminds us that one person’s actions ripple outward. A warm blanket isn’t just fabric; it’s a message that someone cares. A handmade hat carries the warmth of human connection.
As we work on this project, we carry their spirit forward. We pledge to give as they gave—without hesitation, without condition, and with the understanding that small acts of kindness can transform someone’s day, or their life.
In their memory, we continue their work.
