About The Guesthouse Shelter

The Guesthouse Shelter and Community Hub (TGHS), through the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising campaign, wants to engage our community and raise funds to help those experiencing homelessness and raise awareness about the many issues to address and resolve the problem in our community.

Read More

TGHS is dedicated to providing food and shelter in a safe environment within North Simcoe that cares for those in physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual need. We strive to encourage understanding of the needs in our community regarding fundamental human rights to food and shelter. It is our goal that no one in North Simcoe County will be homeless.

About United Way Simcoe Muskoka - Midland

The Urgent Needs Fund in Midland is a lifeline for those facing hunger, hurt, or homelessness. By providing microgrants to low-income households, they bridge the gap when traditional support systems fall short. These grants are more than just financial assistance; they offer hope and dignity to individuals struggling to meet their basic needs.

Whether it's helping someone buy groceries, pay for medication, or cover unexpected expenses, the Urgent Needs Fund ensures that no one is left behind.

The Home Relief Bank helps those in Midland at risk of homelessness with interest free loans for those having trouble making their rent or mortgage payments. This keeps people in their homes during a challenging time.

By empowering individuals to address their immediate needs, the Urgent Needs Fund and Home Relief Bank help break the cycle of poverty and vulnerability.
