Extreme Weather Shelter
Beginning in 2008, men and women
without fixed lodging have found shelter in the lower level of our
fellowship building at 595 Townsite Rd. This year will be no different.
The congregation voted to continue operating a “low barrier” cold-wet
Extreme Weather Shelter for 2014-15. For most nights between November
and March, the shelter will open at 7 p.m. with twenty-four beds
available, along with a hot meal at night, breakfast in the morning,
washers and dryers, companionship, and great staff on hand. In addition
pets can be accommodated at the site as well as the provision of nightly
storage space for our guests’ belongings.
The shelter doors open when the outside temperature is 5 degrees Celsius with rain and wind and 3 degrees Celsius when clear.
Financial support comes from several
sources: Municipal, Regional, Provincial, and Federal governments, as
well as a variety of generous community donations. This funding has
ensured a safe, warm place for our overnight guests.
