The Salvation Army Thunder Bay Community and Residential Services
545 N. Cumberland St. P7A 4S2 Thunder Bay, ON, Canada

Many of clients have cycled in and out of shelters and unstable housing their wholes lives. Now with the new Journey to Life Programming, a chance for lasting changes. These changes take time, it’s not an overnight thing. It will involve finding new interests and social circles; learning to care for themselves and respecting those around them; developing job skills and finding a home.

We moved into our new Journey to Life Centre in October of 2020. Our first Journey to Life Participants are excited to begin their journey. As one participant stated once he settled into his new room, It is so good to walk into my apartment, close the door, and make a coffee whenever I want. This is new to me to have my own space. Help our participants continue their journey to a way new of living. https://secure.salvationarmy.ca/registra/DonationPage.aspx

Merry Christmas everyone!!

All the coins and bills have been counted and our grand total for the 2020 Kettle Campaign is.....$211, 062. Which mean we are short of our goal of $220 000 by $8,937. Although we are disappointed we are still amazed by the generous spirit of Thunder Bay. Even during this crazy year you still came through for us. Because of your generosity our food bank can supply hampers to hungry citizens, our soup van can operate and our outreach programming can continue.

January 28 is #BellLetsTalk Day, a day to join the world’s biggest conversation about mental health. Last year, The Salvation Army helped 1.9 million people, m...any of whom struggle with mental health issues. With encouragement, support and resources, we will continue to help improve the lives of vulnerable people living with mental illness. Every action counts, especially during times of uncertainty. Take a look at some of these helpful tips to promote well-being and mental health.

Our clients now have a chance for more. As they work through the program, our staff will work alongside them to guide as they work towards a new life and even be there for him even after they set out on their own. This is a chance to make lasting changes and a new perspective on life.

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Here at the Salvation Army we believe in Santa Claus. Not just the man himself, but the generosity of spirit that he represents. So yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus and he lives within all of us.

I’m happy that we have a gym now. A place to take a walk where I won’t fall on the ice. It gives me something to do and keeps my mind off things. Resident

It finally happened. Mr. Elf Onnashelf went too far with his antics. Therefore he has been asked to vacate the premises and cannot return until December 1st,2021. He’s Santa’s problem now. Merry Christmas Elf and we’ll see you next year.

Thank you so much to Kenworth Ontario for their generous donation of canned goods. Their office did a food drive during the month of December and chose our food bank for the donation

Is there a high school student in your household that needs community hours? We can help out with that. A great way to gain those hours is manning a kettle for a few hours over the holiday season. Call the Salvation Army office at 345-6492.

It’s that time of year again. Yes it’s a different holiday season but we can still have certain traditions continue. And nothing says Christmas like the Red Kettles appearing in local stores. Want to help out? Call 345-6492 to book a shift.

Thank you so much for the support every year.

Remembrance Day this year is different. As much as we all want to pay our respects in person, we cannot out of an abundance of caution. So instead we joined together as a staff and residents. Taking a moment out of our day to remember those who have died in wars and conflicts for our freedoms.

We remember. On Remembrance Day, The Salvation Army honours the thousands of Canadians who bravely and sacrificially served our country. During times of wa...r and military conflict, they preserved peace and defended our freedom. We are thankful for all those who have served, past and present. See more
