Together we change lives from Bridgewater to Cape Breton.

161,000+

17,500+

Safe, warm beds annually.

500,000+

Clothes, toiletries, and other essentials provided every year.

Men are healing and getting a fresh start at our Life Recovery Program.

One gentleman who is unemployed and living outdoors, due to the cost of housing, comes in every day. We do everything we can for him—a hot meal, a sleeping bag, a tent, a listening ear, just being there. He told us that we'd saved his life and he didn't know if he'd still be here without us.
