Meals are provided 365 days a year by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers. All services are provided without distinction and free of charge to anyone in need.

Good Shepherd Centre opened in 1963 to provide food, shelter and clothing for people in need. Today, the centre continues to provide the basic necessities of life. It also helps people overcome addictions, access health care, and find housing.
