About this service
An outreach program in operation 365 days a year, that offers support to vulnerable and at risk community members in need, using a harm reduction approach. Van Patrol is primarily operated during the night to seek out those in the community who appear to be at risk to offer assistance, such as a ride to our emergency shelter, or to provide warm clothing, water, coffee, food and harm reduction supplies.
During an average night, we serve almost 100 people, handing out 150 food and beverage items, and 80 harm reduction supplies.
In addition to community outreach, MSP is a principal partner in the City of Winnipegs Voluntary Transport Protocol. In partnership with the Winnipeg Police Service and Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, MSPs Van Patrol helps to alleviate stressors on the health and emergency response system by providing a consistent mode of non-emergency related transportation to assist those who may have otherwise depended on emergency services.
Who can use it?
