Every donation helps us continue our mission
With living costs significantly on the rise, homelessness increased by 159% in Montreal between 2018 and 2025*. The need for our services in the heart of the city is now greater than ever. Our operations require an annual budget of $600,000, and for 2027 we are aiming for an ideal campaign goal of $800,000. This will allow us to offer more support, more care, and reach even more people in need.
Some numbers, at a glance:
- An average of 130 people are welcomed into our day centre every day.
- We serve 200-300 meals from our kitchen daily, including breakfast and lunch.
- More than 300 households benefit from our food bank every month.
- We carry out 40 to 50 psychosocial interventions every month in our centre, and our outreach team made 35 interactions and 25 referrals daily beyond our doors last winter (between January and April 2026).
3 priority projects for 2027:
1. Making our outreach team permanent, to meet people in need of services where they are all year round
2. Opening weekends and extending our services to 7 days a week, to offer continuity and consistency to our guests
3. Acquiring our own delivery truck, to facilitate the daily logistics of food needs and helping our partners make donations to our community
In 2027, we are counting on your continued trust in our work to help us expand our impact and move closer to our vision of a city centre with inclusive living spaces where everyone’s dignity and fundamental rights are respected.
Every contribution and act of engagement enables new possibilities for thousands of vulnerable people in the heart of Montreal. At St. Michael’s Mission, we have been supporting those living in extreme poverty and homelessness since 1927, offering them much more than a meal or clothing: a community, support, and the possibility of social reintegration.
Thank you for supporting our community!
