We are a Christian faith-based social service agency with a focus on serving those who struggle with poverty and homelessness; men, women and children. We provide food, shelter, clothing, crisis intervention and rehabilitation.Mission Services of London opened its doors in January 1951 when fourteen Mennonite families purchased and renovated a home at 536 Talbot Street to be a mission providing shelter, food and care for homeless men.Since that time, Mission Services of London has helped thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. Today it operates two emergency shelters, an addiction treatment program, a thrift store/outreach program and Community Mental Health programs for consumers/survivors of the mental health system. Many men and women tell how their lives have been changed significantly as a result of the love, care and respect they received from our agency during difficult periods of their lives. A little help made a great deal of difference.
The London InterCommunity Health Centre has been a part of London's Old East community for more than 20 years. We provide health and social services in a welcoming setting to those who experience barriers to care. These barriers may include poverty, homelessness, language or culture, and complex and/or chronic health conditions including mental health and addictions.Our two East London locations offer care by a team which includes family doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, dietitians and community health workers. The Health Centre offers many programs that address the factors in our living and working lives that impact our health, well-being and ability to reach our potential. These factors include income, education, employment, housing, food, recreation and social supports.Our vision is to build opportunities for healthy and inclusive communities.
Whether it´s a job promotion, buying a first car, or being recognized for an artistic, athletic or community achievement – we all set goals; and in meeting them we both discover who we are, and find the confidence to tackle the next, bigger obstacle. This is how we grow, feel alive, find fulfillment and take our place in the world.Since 1973, the Alice Saddy Association has supported those who feel that people – including people with developmental disabilities – are more alive when they are free to challenge their limits and experience the dignity of becoming the person they know they can be.From a perspective that places the freedom to achieve at the heart of a life of dignity and fulfillment, the Alice Saddy Association provides support for adults with developmental disabilities.
