About Mission Services of London

OUR COMMUNITY IMPACT

Founded in 1951, Mission Services of London is a Christian faith based, non-profit, social service organization serving London and area. Our mission is to actively respond to people experiencing need, affirm human dignity and inspire hope. We do this through programs and services at our five branches, including offering meals, safe shelter, counselling, referrals and addiction treatment as well as basic needs items to men, women and families.

HELP MAKE AN IMPACT

Join as we walk together on Saturday, February 24, 2018! Please arrive for 4:00 pm to register and let the fun begin at Catholic Central High School (CCH), 450 Dundas St., London, Ontario. Kick-off starts at 5:00 pm.

As a walker, you will experience a hint of the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness during a wintry Canadian night. Our 5 km route takes walkers into one of our branches. As a fundraiser, you will help us to deliver programs to our clients.
