St. James Drop-In Centre

The St-James Drop-In Centre offers a safe and supportive environment where those who are marginalized and/or homeless can experience community to its fullest. The Centre seeks to be a catalyst for the flow of creativity, compassion and empathy. Between 9 am and 5 pm Monday to Friday, the Centre offers basic services such as hot nutritious meals, access to showers, and clean clothes. We also provide counselling, crisis intervention, monitoring of medication and assistance with welfare. We help find housing, accompany people to medical appointments and liaise with outside agencies such as legal services, hospitals, rehabilitation programs, and shelters. In 2012, the Centre launched an an employment reintegration program called Streetsuds (www.labuanderue.org).StreetSuds operates as a transitional employment program for formerly homeless individuals and individuals at-risk of homelessness who are looking to re-enter the workforce.
