LIVING WELL TOGETHER
“The Giving Well Project” was launched in November, 2022, and it exceeded its $80,000 fundraising goal. Thank you! The goals of the campaign are still important today, and you can check out our Facebook posts to learn more. Of course, ongoing donations are gratefully accepted as we move forward into 2023!
PROGRAM UPDATE:
Since the start of the pandemic, we have significantly expanded our programs, especially now with the rising cost of living! At our food bank, community members can either enter the building and participate in the creation of their food hampers, or they can pick up grab-and-go boxes at the side door. The food bank is busier than ever before, and it’s open Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday from 10:30am-2:00pm.
Our Seniors Programs are thriving, and the Diner’s Club is happening every Tuesday! COVID protocols are still in effect, and all seniors must be willing to wear masks. The visitation program has expanded exponentially and it’s a great way to connect regularly with one of our volunteers. It now also includes a Life Navigation component.
Our Learning and Fun afterschool program is up and running with children enjoying academic support and playing group games every day!
Our Community Support Programs, including supports for recent immigrants to Canada, are all fully operational.
Welcome Inn has responded to COVID-19, but . . .
There’s still more to be done!

The North End
Even though the North End of Hamilton is changing and gentrification is a reality, our community still faces high rates of poverty, soaring housing costs and health-related concerns.
Wellness
For us, it’s not about creating another program; it’s about empowering members of the community so that all might be well. Welcome Inn promotes wellness in eight key areas.
Volunteering
A vibrant community is rooted in participation, and everyone is welcome to contribute. Share your time and talents with others through volunteering in a program.
