Register NowThe kitchen at Jessie’s House is the heart of the home. It’s a place where our clients eat healthy, hot meals cooked by our Founder Lynne, and Cook, Rose. It’s a place of connection. When survivors leave Jessie’s House, they often ask for our recipes. We put them together in a cookbook – a memento of the time where they found safety, hope, and healing.
And you can get a copy too! Our first edition, Cookin’ with Lynne Vol. 1, is available for sale! All cookbook proceeds will support the nutrition program at Jessie’s House, ensuring that all survivors get a copy of their own as they leave Jessie’s House and Eileen’s Place.

As a trauma-informed facility, we aim to meet residents where they are, reducing as many barriers to service as feasible. Serving individuals and families from the Sturgeon Region and St. Albert will be our priority, however residents outside the region will be supported as capacity permits.”
