OUR STORY

Whether it’s providing emergency shelter for an individual or family, or caring for those with mental health needs, Mission Services of London (MSL) is there with a message of hope through faith. MSL is a Christian faith-based social service agency with a focus on serving neighbours who struggle with poverty, addictions, mental illness and homelessness. They provide food, shelter, clothing, crisis intervention, shelter diversion and more.

Mission Services of London opened its doors in January 1951 when fourteen Mennonite families purchased and renovated a home at 536 Talbot Street to provide shelter, food and care for men experiencing homelessness.

Since that time, MSL has helped thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. Today they operate:

• Community Mental Health Programs – outreach services
• Men’s Mission – an emergency shelter
• Mission Store – a social enterprise
• Quintin Warner House – an addiction treatment centre
• Rotholme Family Shelter – an emergency shelter

Many men and women tell how their lives have been changed significantly as a result of the love, care and respect they received from MSL during difficult periods of their lives. A little help can make a great deal of difference.
