Help for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
Many of our city’s most vulnerable people are struggling with their mental health.
At The Kettle's Drop-In Centre, anyone can access food, showers, fresh clothing, and more this holiday season. Our doors are open 365 days a year to provide compassion, dignity and practical help.
Meet Verna
After a mental health crisis and eviction, Verna had been sleeping on her mom’s couch. She had nowhere else to go.
At The Kettle, she found a bed, privacy and peace knowing she had a safe place to call home.
