What We Do
Shelter House Thunder Bay (Thunder Bay Emergency Shelter Inc.) provides barrier-free sleeping accommodations for 62 men, women and youth, 365 days of the year. Our organization and facility practice non-partisan views and are tolerant of individuals who are often discarded by society. We believe everyone has tremendous potential. Only in working together can we create a positive change in the lives of those we serve.
Community is at the heart of our mission—providing basic needs, dignity and comfort to people living in poverty and stimulate action to address the root cause of homelessness. We support our community through three programs:
- Emergency Shelter
- Feeding Program
- Kwae Kii Win Managed Alcohol Program.
