Where We Go
Going To and Gathering
Whether it’s the soup kitchen, homeless shelter, or out on the street, Mission to the Margins is there.
Ray of Hope
The Ray of Hope serves as a sanctuary for people experiencing poverty and homelessness in Kitchener and Waterloo Region. Their community centre and marketplace are an anchor in this community, building health and belonging.
The Streets
of Kitchener and Cambridge
The street is where the action is. We are on the streets on a regular basis. We stop and listen, we connect with people and meet new people, we pray with people, we buy a coffee, we encourage and support one another, we point friends to Jesus.
Homeless Camps
The homeless camp experience is a nomadic life. With folks tending to not stay in one place very long before being told to move along, the camps are always around regardless, and we seek them out and go to them. In addition to bringing the necessities of life we bring care, a listening ear, prayer, and encouragement: the presence of Christ where least expected.
St. Mark’s Place
St. Mark's Place is an Indwell program in Kitchener providing housing to 43 individuals coming out of homelessness. Indwell is a Christian charity that creates affordable housing communities that support people seeking health, wellness and belonging.
Outreach with Partner Churches
From time to time we learn of church partners beginning ministries for low income and poor in their neighbourhoods. If it is a good fit Mission to the Margins will plug in with these ministries as community chaplains. Alongside the host church we bring care, a listening ear, prayer, and encouragement.
Low Income Housing
As we get to know people and trust develops, it doesn’t take long until we are invited to visit people where they live. It is an honour to be invited to visit someone as a guest in their home. We embrace these opportunities, understanding that a relationship can grow from this, with the possibility to pray and to serve… perhaps have a role in an encounter with Jesus.
Grace Bible Church
Our home base, our office, our launch pad, and a solid rock of volunteer support. Grace Bible Church have been supporters all the way along. And M2M Cambridge hosts one of our Bible studies here too, Fridays 1:00-2:30pm.
To Bring the presence of Christ where it is not expected.
Our office is located at 2 Grand Avenue South in Galt.
