Our mission is to assist people experiencing poverty and lack of housing by filling in the gaps left by other organizations. We seek to accomplish this by meeting their essential needs, such as food, shelter, clothing and relationship while treating people with dignity and respect for who they are; and to support their journey towards holistic wellness.
Those we assist are people of all age, race, gender, identity, and religion. We assist families, individuals, single parents, people experiencing homelessness, those who are housing insecure and anyone experiencing poverty.
At Steinbach Community Outreach we offer help with transitioning off the streets, housing support and homelessness prevention. We walk alongside a person on their journey towards independence.
Practically, this looks like providing food, clothing, bedding, and toiletries. It’s coffee and muffins and chatting around a table. It’s welcoming, listening and connecting people with other services like the local food bank, soup kitchen, EIA, professional counsellors, and other agencies. It’s helping people find affordable housing, filing income tax returns and driving them to appointments.
