As an inner-city church, we take seriously the command to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and welcome the strangers. We are honoured to partner with AWAC for the second year in a row to help support their newest housing program as well as to support our Benevolence Fund.
Each month our Benevolence Fund provides food to St. Vincent de Paul through our Soup Bus program. We also provide 40 or more hampers each month to people in need coming into our church. With the extra funds from the CNOY, we are now able to provide more hampers and turn away fewer people. We are also able to provide some emergency funding to people in crisis.
We are always happy to welcome people anytime including on Sunday mornings for worship. Often, this may involve family visiting from the regional hospital across the street or some residents of the downtown area.
We invite you to walk with us for the Coldest Night of the Year Walk on February 24, 2018.
Thank you very much!
AWAC- An Association Advocating for Women and Community is a non-profit organization that opened in 1994, with the vision to provide safe and supportive shelter for street-involved women and female youth. Over the years we began to see the need for our services to expand. With the growing problem of homelessness in our community we created the Housing First, Outreach and Housing Readiness programs. Our Housing First and Outreach programs are available to both men and women and at this time our Shelter, Support Recovery, and Housing Readiness programs remain women only. All of our programs at AWAC provide clients with the opportunity to rebuild their lives through support from a non-judgmental, trauma informed approach. It is our goal to help move both men and women from homelessness to independent living by offering various levels of supports throughout the different stages of housing.
