🚨 URGENT CALL FOR WATER BOTTLES🚨

As warmer days are upon us, one thing becomes absolutely essential for our guests: WATER 💧☀️

The Downtown Mission's Shelter is currently running low and in urgent need of bottled water to help keep people safe, hydrated,
and healthy.

Approximately 150 - 200 individuals are stopping by the Mission during the day currently for a meal or to seek out various supports/programming and approximately 110 - 120 are in our
Shelter Beds or Drop-In Shelter each night.

When it’s hot outside, shade, rest, and water can make all the difference.

📍 Donations accepted at:
875 Ouellette Avenue (Front Door)
🕘 7 days a week | 9:00am – 8:00pm
📞 519‑973‑5573

Please consider donating - and like & share to help spread the word. Every bottle counts, and every act of kindness helps us care for our community. If you'd like a Donation Tax Receipt provided to you, please bring in a copy of your Purchase Receipt and provide us with your name/address/phone number. You will receive a
Temporary Receipt at drop-off and an official Donation Tax Receipt will be mailed to you 💙

If you prefer to donate a financial gift to help with this cause of keeping our vulnerable neighbours hydrated and healthy this Summer, please do so through this secure online line (you will receive a Donation Tax Receipt emailed to you immediately after) - https://bit.ly/3TYefrZ

Feeling truly honored to be in good company with legendary Rotarians and remarkable leaders like Ronald Reagan, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Manny Pacquiao. Their lives remind us that leadership is not only about achievement, but also about service, courage, and making a difference in the lives of others. Proud to be part of the Rotary family!
