Shine Hope this

Christmas

Hope Looks Like This.

  • "My anxiety and addiction controlled my life, but SUMS welcomed me with open arms. I can only see a fresh new beginning thanks to the amazing people here."

    Shawn, Shelter Guest

  • "People think shelters are only for those with addictions, but it’s regular people like me who ended up down on their luck. SUMS is here for anyone who needs help, and I am thankful every day for that."

    Steve, Shelter Guest

  • "SUMS is a place you can go from being on the street to where you can have a bed and a warm shower and three meals a day and you can have hope and things can improve."

    Darla, Shelter Guest

Every neighbour deserves to be welcomed with dignity and hope.

This Christmas, Help Us Shine Hope

Your support helps us continue welcoming neighbours with dignity and compassion. Your gift truly matters.

“SUMS helped me find my footing when I had nowhere else to go. Because of this place, I have ID, a job, and hope for my children’s future.”
— Allen Ssebowa, Shelter Guest

Why Your Gift Matters

Warm Meals

Each day, your support helps us serve nutritious meals to neighbours who need it most. These meals offer more than nourishment. They provide connection, dignity, and a moment of comfort during a difficult season.

Safe Shelter

Your gift helps provide safe beds and welcoming spaces for neighbours who have nowhere else to turn. Our shelters offer stability during cold and unpredictable winter nights. Because of you, people in crisis can find warmth, rest, and compassionate support.

Casework Support

Casework is where long-term change begins. With your help, our team can walk alongside neighbours as they work toward housing, health, and stability. Each connection, each appointment, and each care plan is a step toward rebuilding a life. Your support makes these steps possible.
