A warm coat, a pair of winter boots, or a cozy blanket are everyday items can mean so much to someone facing the cold. 🍂

As colder days arrive, we are in need of winter boots, coats, mittens and gloves, sweaters, sweatpants, hand warmers, hats, and blankets. Whether you can give one item or gather a few donations with friends, family, or coworkers, every contribution makes a difference!

📍 Donations are welcome any day, at any time and can be dropped off to either location below:

St. John House, 65 Brunswick Street, 506-450-1102

Grace House, 275 Brunswick Street, 506-450-3001

Financial donations are also welcome, and can be made online at www.theshelters.ca/donate.

With the holiday season approaching, we’d also love to connect with local businesses, churches, community groups, and organizations looking for a way to give back. From organizing a donation drive to exploring other ways to partner with The Shelters, we’d be happy to hear from you! Call 506-450-5294 or email [email protected] to connect.

Thank you for supporting The Shelters! Each item you share is a little extra warmth and a reminder to someone in our community that people are thinking of them and care. ✨

Home to them means “a place you can go to keep comfortable and a place to call your own. Home is just a place you can go to rest your head.”
On their journey right now, healing to them could “mean a number of things.”
“Strength during difficult times… I’d have to say you can find strength in anything.” Along their journey, they have discovered a lot of strength within them self.
Reflecting on their hands and what they represent, they shared that they “resemble what you’ve been through.”

“Home means to me my family, with my child and my Mom. I love them.” During difficult times, their child is their strength. Through their journey, they have also discovered strength within themselves: “A lot. With sobriety, I’ve discovered a lot of strength in myself. With showing up being a Mother, I have discovered a lot of strength in myself… a lot of strength that I didn’t know I had.”
Reflecting on their hands and their journey: “I’ve overcome a lot. I look at my hands and other parts of myself, and I look back to when I went through those things because I’m not really the same person…at all? Some things that I’ve gone through, you know, it really feels like a whole different person in the same body. My tattoos and stuff, they are different. I don’t love necessarily all of them. I have to love them, because I love myself. I look at my body and I notice I’ve been through a lot. I feel like a renewed person in my body.”

“Home to me is somewhere that I can feel safe, somewhere that I can be myself and I don’t have to have any anxiety or stress or worry about how the people around me are going to perceive me. I don’t have to have any fear that if I do something that it’s going to be taken away. Home is my safe space.
During difficult times, strength for them comes from: “community, friends, family, resources, staff at Grace House has been amazing throughout my journey. Just having a sense of community.” Upon reflection, they have discovered the strength of “endurance, which may sound not great to some people, because if you have to endure things, it means you’re going through a hard time, but my life’s always been kind of rocky, so learning that when things do hit me hard, I can get back up and I can actually learn and I can go forward and figure out a way that I don’t have to go back to that rocky place.”
“My hands say a lot about my journey because I have quite a few tattoos, and my tattoos tell a story within their own, every single one of them. It’s also just a way to love my body and how it carries me throughout the day and does what it needs to do so I’m able to survive. It nourishes me.”
“My hands hold me up and clap for me and give me praise and praise others.”

Home to them means, “Mostly having a safe place to be.” During difficult times, they find strength from “my cat, my books and my adopted Mom.” They find hope in knowing “it’s going to be better tomorrow.”
For them, healing means, “knowing that if I messed up or something, it’s not the end of the world and it can always be fixed.”
Reflecting on their journey and what their hands represent, they shared a message of perseverance: “no matter what happens, I can always get back up and can always try again.”

When asked what home means to them, they shared “safety, and stability.” During difficult times, they find strength through creativity: “creativity stuff… I like to play guitar.”
Through their journey, they have discovered their own resilience: “I’ve gotten through a lot that I never thought that I never would have been able to get though before.” Healing for them means, “it’s like taking it one step at a time… just slowly but surely get through each day.”
Reflecting on their hands, they shared that the “scars…show some of the struggles that I’ve been though.” Within their journey, they would tell themselves, “You got this.”

Reflecting on their hands, they shared: “well, a lot of rings and stuff on now compared to what I use to have. I used to have nothing.” Their hands would share “I’ve worked for many years and they are pretty rough right now, but they could definitely tell you a story.”
“I come from a dark spot, and now I see the light. I’ve come along ways.”
Their home to them “feels great…just having a place of your own.”
During difficult times they shared their strength comes from “My Mom used to be my rock, but she’s gone now but I just think about her, and it helps me through.”
Hope is knowing “as far as I’ve come in the last couple of years, gives me hope to a brighter future.”

Home to them means “a safe place.” During difficult times, they find strength in their mom and sisters.
When reflecting on the strength they have found within themselves, they shared “Every day, something. Sometimes I feel like that’s the direction that I want to take.” When they think about hope and the future, they want to “better my situation and find someone who appreciates who I am.”
Reflecting on their hands, they shared that they are “quite rough and I do a lot of work with my hands.” If their hands could share a message with them, it would be that they are “going down the right way and I feel there is going to be a lot of good in. my life.”

A big thank you to our staff who worked so hard to prepare a wonderful Thanksgiving meal for residents at our Supportive Housing units and Grace House yesterday.

It was a special day to share good food, spend time together, and celebrate as a community. We’re grateful for the care and dedication our staff bring to making moments like this possible!
