About Kenora Fellowship Centre

We are a non-profit Indigenous Ministry who provides daily outreach and supports to people who are working hard to navigate lifes hardships and also those underhoused, facing food insecurity, mental health and addictions. So many people are dealing with life crisis and efforts to maintain a quality of life with less resources. Our daily Drop-in centre is a safe space where we provide twice daily hot meals of breakfast and lunch. We also have a 8am - 4pm coffee corner. We provide public bathrooms, laundry, and other hygeine items. We provide a clothing bank, public phone and other administrative supports. We provide mailing address for those with no fixed address. We also offer a 10 bed Transition housing program which works with the wrap around services in the community to work towards a successful housing arrangement . We promote healing and reconciliation through healing and wellness initiatives and with building capacity with the people we serve.

We need your help as we strive to make a huge difference in our community to continue our services. Please walk with us for the Coldest Night of the Year on February 22, 2025. Help us as we collectively challenge stereotypes and offer basic supports to people in great need. Coldest Night of the Year helps create awareness about the challenges of those underhoused and living in poverty and its impacts. We strive to provide low barrier services with compassion, great care, and hope for change, equality and fairness.


Our mission is to clothe the naked, help the helpless, to feed the hungry, love the unloved and guide the lost.


Miigwetch, thank you!
