Help for today. Hope for tomorrow.
Many of our city’s most vulnerable people are struggling with their mental health.
At the Kettle's Drop-In Centre, anyone can access food, showers, fresh clothing and more. We meet people’s basic needs and open doors to housing and employment opportunities that change lives.
Meet Ed
Looking back, Ed remembers one night of homelessness in his mid-twenties.
“It was scary and so cold”, he remembers. “I didn’t know what to do.”
Today, Ed is thriving, safely housed and grateful for all the help he has received.
