Shelter House provides
| SHELTER | The Shelter is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. We provide laundry facilities, showers and can accomodate up to 42 individuals per night in our dormitory style adult and youth dorms. Our facility is a temporary, emergency shelter and does not offer long term housing. |
| CLOTHING | Our free clothing area exists to help ensure that even the less fortunate in our community have access to appropriate and adequate clothing attire for each season. Occasionally we also have bedding and dishes available. |
| SUPPORT | The ultimate goal is for each individual to secure adequate and affordable housing in the community. In this spirit we work closely with outside social service agencies and provide appropriate referrals, outreach, life skills, crisis intervention, and work experience where possible |
| FOOD | Mainly for our residents, breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., lunch is open to the community from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and dinner is open to residents and the community from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Our Soup Kitchen serves an average of 500 meals per day, which includes breakfast, lunch and supper as well as bagged lunches. We also distribute our surplus groceries and prepare emergency food hampers. This totals nearly 200,000 units per year. |
The programs and services that are offered through Shelter House are designed to achieve our organization Mission and Realize our Vision of a caring community here in Thunder Bay whereby people are able to meet their basic needs.
