When someone is in crisis, they don’t always know where to go to get the help they desperately need.
Help can feel inaccessible in the midst of a desperate situation. If someone is struggling with an addiction or dealing with significant mental health challenges, accessing help can seem next to impossible. It is easy to feel trapped – and the end result can be tragic.
“If it wasn’t for this place, I would probably be dead.”
It is critical that we do not wait for people in need to show up at our doors. By intentionally going out into the community to build relationships and bring help directly to those who need it, we can bring new hope to someone’s future. We are able to step into the gap more effectively and intervene earlier in the life of someone in crisis. Outreach teams can prevent future pain and connect people to desperately needed resources as soon as possible.
Outreach teams actively build strong community relationships.
The 24/7 Rescue Vans actively provide mobile outreach to unhoused and vulnerable people in our community. Equipped with compassionate staff, they focus on people in non-emergency crisis situations who need support, care, and access to community resources. These non-judgmental services are inclusive, trauma-informed, and client-centred.
Our Community Outreach team supports business communities around Hope Mission through projects like garbage clean up, window washing, sidewalk pressure washing and snow removal. The Community Outreach team builds relationships with local business owners and explores other opportunities for support.
Outreach teams actively seek out people in our community who need help. They bring practical supplies and connect them with critical resources to lift them out of homelessness. It’s an urgently needed service that meets people right where they are without judgement. Often, we are meeting people on some of the toughest days of their lives.
“I thank God that Hope Mission found me.”
Outreach teams are essential to building strong relationships and investing in the hope and future of our communities.
