The Starting Point
Our Meals
A good meal is the best beginning to any encounter, and we want to make sure that our guests feel at home by offering them food made with love and served with compassion. Built on the legacy of many passionate cooks over the years, we are honoured to have a kitchen whose reputation stretches far and wide in our community. We offer two hearty, warm and nutritious meals every day as well as providing food and snacks to take away.
Food Bank
Food Bag Program
We know that having a roof over one’s head isn’t always enough to get by and we are proud to be able to offer two food bags (valued at a total of ~$70) per month to individuals and families with stable accommodation.
This programme runs from the 15th to the end of every month, Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 15:00. ID and proof of address required.
Hygiene
Showers and more
Access to basic hygiene goods and services is key to respecting the dignity and support the well-being of our community. We offer hot showers on a first-come first-served basis every day during our operating hours, in addition to providing a range of basic products that are essential to maintaining personal hygiene. On occasion, we are lucky to be able to welcome several skilled barbers to our facilities.
Psychosocial Intervention
At St. Michael’s Mission we strive to create a trusting connection with all individuals that we welcome into our shelter. Our staff are willing and able to support individuals at any stage of their journey to reintegration, including long-term monitoring.
This includes assistance with the following:
- Accessing temporary and long-term accommodation
- Job search (including accessing and creating necessary materials)
- Psychological distress
- Conflict resolution
- Crisis intervention
- Food insecurity
- Bureaucratic accompaniment (such as assistance filing documentation or accessing public or private services)
- Referral to partner organizations and programs (including CACTUS Montreal, YMCA Dialogue, OBM’s Clinique Mobile, among many others)
- Accessing medical services or facilities
- Acquiring safe drug-consumption and overdose materials
