About Us
CUOSA is a not-for-profit organization established in Alberta in 2023 to address gaps in access to basic needs and practical knowledge within the community. The organization is supported by dedicated community leaders, volunteers, and trusted partners who have come together to create a flexible, community-driven network of mobile pantries, outreach initiatives, and educational programs.
Through these efforts, CUOSA Community works to reduce barriers to essential resources and knowledge, ensuring that individuals have equitable opportunities to build stable and connected lives. Guided by a people-centered approach, the organization is committed to meeting individuals where they are and supporting them with respect, compassion, and dignity.
