Elgin Street Mission

Elgin Street Mission — Summary
The Elgin Street Mission, located at 344 Elgin Street in Greater Sudbury, is a Christian-based, non-political registered charity that has served the community since 1989.
Core Services & Mission
Meals every day: Provides breakfast and supper daily, serving approximately 90,000–100,000 meals per year.
Beyond food: Offers clothing, showers, laundry facilities, counselling, spiritual support, and referrals—all at no cost to those in need.
Its mission goes further: “Although hope begins with a meal, the Mission’s goal is not just to feed the poor, but by God’s transformational power to bring hope and purpose for a new beginning to those impacted by poverty”.
Community Role & Operations
Functions entirely through donations from individuals, businesses, and churches—no regular government funding.
The Mission operates a drop-in centre, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for vulnerable individuals.
It serves as both a physical and spiritual haven for Greater Sudbury’s most vulnerable citizens, truly aiming to "feed the body & soul".
