About this organization
This is the place where people come when they have nowhere else to go. Where they find a safe place to sit, eat, shower or talk. Without judgment, without fear. Thousands of the most desperate people in our province find refuge here at The Gathering Place on a weekly basis. Our mission is to provide barrier-free street-level supports for marginalized individuals in our community. Thanks to your kindness, nobody is turned away; your donations keep us going.
The people who come here are the Guests. We use the term Guest instead of client so that we do not forget our purpose. They are people and they deserve respect. Out there on the streets, it is easy to forget your humanity. We are here to try to help them restore it as we operate under the values of Compassion, Respect, Dignity, Inclusion and Community.
