Help us expand indoor sheltering for cold weather
Together with our friends at London Cares, we’re expanding indoor services to protect our community members experiencing homelessness—past the City of London’s formal threshold required to open municipal warming centres. We deeply appreciate your support to sustain life-saving cold weather responses and protect those who need the most help.
Help us—let your voice be heard!
On April 1, Ark Aid Mission lost over $1 million in core funding that is vital to keeping our essential, life-changing services open to community members in our city who desperately need them. If you support the work we do, please consider writing to your local City Councillor or MPP (Members of Provincial Parliament) and asking for serious action to be taken. We have provided an editable letter template below for you to use.
Help us provide hope and dignity to those in need
The crisis is real. Every day, over 2,000 people experience the struggle of living on the streets with nowhere to turn. By supporting our programs and services, your gift helps provide safe shelter, hot meals, and an opportunity to literally change lives. With your help, we know everyone deserves to be Beheld, Beloved, and Belong.
