Summer of Need
One of our outreach workers shared a powerful story with our Executive Director last summer. There was a person (whom we will not identify for privacy reasons) who had walked blocks in the extreme heat, searching for a place to sleep.
They were exhausted and having trouble breathing, so they sat down to rest at a picnic table that just happened to be outside one of our Mission sites. A staff member noticed that something seemed wrong. They went to check on them and saw that the person was very confused and struggling to breathe. They were in dangerous respiratory distress from the extreme heat.
Our staff called an ambulance and while the paramedics were helping, our outreach team made arrangements for a place for this person to sleep that night. In addition to emergency crisis care, we also provide meals, shelter, mental health support, addiction services, and more to help people move towards recovery, long-term stability, and hope.
That’s the kind of impact your donations can have on our London neighbours when they need it most.
With your continued support today, together this summer we can provide:
- 31,000 nutritious meals
- 10,000 nights of sleeping in a clean bed*
- Hundreds of hours of life-skills coaching and counselling
*Men’s Mission only
Thank you for considering our neighbours in need this summer.
