No one should face the ramifications of poverty alone.

From our friends and partners…
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Helping Hands Street Mission to learn more about their friendship-based support model and witness the amazing work they do. It was truly wonderful to see their commitment to developing real relationships with all who walk in the door as well as how all of their decisions and actions are so intentionally based on that beautiful friendship model. It’s clear that everyone is welcomed and blessed to be at Helping Hands.”

“I am grateful to the team at Helping Hands for supporting those in our community that are struggling on many levels. Their love and care for those that are burdened is a beautiful example of Jesus’ love for this world.”

“This larger and more accessible building allows for more opportunities to further develop friendships, including for people (like me) who have anxiety issues. Friends coming with mobility devices also enjoy greater accessibility, with low barrier entry doors and a washroom at ground level. Our friends are now also able to wait inside for their turn to shop for clothes instead of having to wait outside. More room for more people to connect means more relationships built and strengthened.”
