About Downtown Mission of Windsor

The purpose of The Downtown Mission is to be a place of sanctuary. In response to the mandate of The Gospel, we provide food for the body...nurture for the spirit, shelter for the homeless and opportunity for human growth and development

The Coldest Night of the Year walk-a-thon is an opportunity for our friends and family to raise much needed financial support to continue the provision, nurturing and hope we provide.

Walk with us February 24th - you know, it's cold out there.
