Their community centre and marketplace are an anchor in this community, building health and belonging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/f52ad848-ea9a-4053-9f7f-f69644eb2a86/171252213_1526682541056253_7148393345271827184_n.jpg Home - Where We Go Urban Hope / Cambridge Vineyard We love our friends at Urban Hope! We are here Tuesdays over lunch to connect with guests and help out wherever needed. Then on Thursday and Saturday evenings from 6:00-8:30 (and sometimes later in the coldest months) volunteers from M2M open the doors to the community for friendship, prayer, and belonging over a hot meal, free showers, laundry, food bank, a clothing room, and our DIY Bike Clinic in the warm months. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/9b1e04b5-340e-45b5-9575-5828ca266b28/updated%2Bchurch%2Bphoto060720_00.jpg Home - Where We Go 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 we host one of our Bible studies here too Fridays 1:00-2:30pm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1647229416903-S9B66M09R7GLABXDPVCK/unsplash-image-skv_o7wT_RA.jpg Home - Where We Go - The Streets of Cambridge and Kitchener 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/df5d48c2-e8ac-48ac-966c-d7122753004b/facebook_1598547978820_6704796181758820359.jpg Home - Where We Go 150 Main Drop-In Centre If it’s mid-afternoon and you need to find someone living rough, one place to check is right here. An open door for those experiencing homelessness to get out of the weather, with lots of access to services, and plenty of snacks, we make it a point to visit and spend time with our friends here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/192cbc1f-eb7b-4571-819a-235b0d839ec0/image.png Home - Where We Go 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646430373992-PX8RBNW3KKP9CNVSGP1J/unsplash-image-fTtvCvU89_M.jpg Home - Where We Go 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/5497d754-5b6b-4f22-b799-c6906e9c0261/cambridge-ont-bridges-shelter.jpg Home - Where We Go Bridges Shelter It can be a real roller coaster, but the Bridges is a place lots of people have to use when there is literally nowhere else to go. Great staff caring for fine folks going through hard times. This is one of the places we regularly stop in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649302974162-TCURUURWQC9WW75WINT9/unsplash-image-3k3l2brxmwQ.jpg Home - Where We Go 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. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649302589295-V998MZ8P2BH85DQLH8EX/unsplash-image-xJn_LXHsvA0.jpg Home - Where We Go 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. https://mission2margins.org/home/whoweare-rwtz9 monthly 0.5 2022-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646685715245-HFY1G7W85UKX1WXNNM51/unsplash-image-00JuluDEK5w.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646685985913-OX7O1PUWYK6GT0U54MAS/unsplash-image-00JuluDEK5w.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646686118564-HQB7IKYLZNAH5KSCX0QG/unsplash-image-lFv0V3_2H6s.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646687308565-XFRN3JBOI3KQ8GN1BVMS/unsplash-image-5FOfresB1G4.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646687345160-7KGHGUZR3E23ZPK13TTB/unsplash-image-r4lM2v9M84Q.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646687384763-7UJ8Y7UEJGKQ7NA26UJV/unsplash-image-Gz8K19z6VaE.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646690100165-GWH22FHUF9RH7LK8V793/unsplash-image-F35EmcotWPY.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646690240958-W944ISO808B1TYPRH3LL/unsplash-image-FABH5NJEMGM.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646690323303-9YSODQX4MMK4R3C7MK66/unsplash-image-9T_S-7oGZZU.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646690525273-C04FEF130PJV44HBIPNI/unsplash-image-Bwg5L-sks3g.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646761234239-SSLW1NRMN3E86VH1DVI1/unsplash-image-2qP_xM2mWCY.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649296830640-SZ8XOUQGB2AI6E1H6TSZ/unsplash-image-eIVJAkj1uCs.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649297143907-1954JDH86X6FNZB8UKPF/unsplash-image-a4GET0s82rI.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649338842241-01RCOBUID93KLYR3S2IK/unsplash-image-0yIzvpbRFw8.jpg Home - Our Partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649428353329-MRODRZLIT5WTRK4WQXCT/unsplash-image-sfbZBP1UBkE.jpg Home - Our Partners https://mission2margins.org/home/whatwedo-bzlme monthly 0.5 2022-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/b3b72fdd-6adb-439d-9304-bafb3135b6cd/unsplash-image-e92L8PwcHD4.jpg Home - What We Do - Grief Support Loss comes to us: whether the loss of someone close, or a natural disaster or a man-made catastrophe; we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. And M2M seeks to bring the presence of Christ to that place: ‘ . . . for I know that you are with me, your rod and your staff comfort me.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/ac469b41-5128-4b63-979e-676ade05f69e/lucas-joel-macauley-4.jpg Home - What We Do - Pastoral Support to the Homeless Walking alongside folks in the very toughest places in our town. Over time the prayer is to see a change in direction with relation to self and God. Timelines and expectations are left at home; fellowship, prayerfulness, and discernment are put on. Hope in lament, fellowship in sorrow, peace in tribulation, strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Bringing the presence of Christ where it is not expected. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646681594567-D3HDOU88O9B2MP1ZTQFX/unsplash-image-Xtnt5xtK03E.jpg Home - What We Do - Community Support & Advocacy There are issues that affect individuals and sometimes these expand to the whole community. We work to advocate for, to stand alongside and support and defend the cause of the widow, the poor, the orphan and all those on the margins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/ee299ee9-fa9a-4b84-97d8-342a499483b6/unsplash-image-Ds0ZIA5gzc4.jpg Home - What We Do - Volunteer Opportunities It might be giving a ride to the dentist, or helping fix a phone stuck on silent, or getting someone to a parole appointment, or unclogging a toilet, or helping someone fill out a government form. In all these is the chance to listen, to engage, to serve. Opportunities to volunteer can be big or small; either way lives are impacted on both sides - we are changed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/71eedb7b-d336-4672-85e6-523a1cd0d80c/unsplash-image-EZS1v7wGkCk.jpg Home - What We Do - DIY Bicycle Repair Clinic When you live on little, owning a reliable bike is a critical piece of personal infrastructure. And just as important: having a reliable, consistent bank of tools and a place to work on it. Mission to the Margins operates a Free DIY (Do It Yourself) Bike Repair Clinic at our Gathering Place Outreach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646682326034-8F6NWCOMNJ819AGAP0IE/unsplash-image-76HhAKI5JXI.jpg Home - What We Do - Mentorship It begins by just being there; being present and engaged with the person in front of us. From there as trust develops, then guidance, motivation, and emotional support flow naturally. Both the roles of mentor and mentee can be explored and developed through your involvement with Mission to the Margins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649294712708-064IV5DXGRR5E0TS9AT5/unsplash-image-LJ5IhBA4gbs.jpg Home - What We Do - Volunteer Opportunities for Church Groups We can always use more hands in the kitchen: a team cooking hearty nutritious warm meals for those on the margins every Thursday and Saturday evening. Bring a friend, your small group, or on your own. Join the M2M Food Army: make a difference once a week, once a month, once every 6 weeks - it’s up to you. Send us an email or check out the ’Volunteer’ section to learn more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649295030537-73D86NL43GOAJ5GWJRAN/unsplash-image-5hDqrxz5Rpc.jpg Home - What We Do - Community Clothing Part of our regular Gathering Place Outreach includes a Free Clothing and Housewares room. Here our guests can come in and chat with a volunteer, look through the racks and find some things to help stretch the monthly income. All items are donated. This is another way we as the church are being a tangible blessing to those with very little. Please consider getting involved with Mission to the Margins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649295367211-XL7YV7MC9HQ7IW9KXNKR/unsplash-image-liOAS02GnfY.jpg Home - What We Do - Food Bank Feeding people’s stomachs is an important aspect of our mercy ministry. Together with our partners at Urban Hope we are able to open the community food bank room where guests can fill up a grocery bag of whatever has come in. It’s another way to help stretch the fixed incomes of singles, seniors, and families living on the margins in our town. Join us in the work: check out the ’Volunteer’ section to learn more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646683523127-Q8HGVP36L5MIEHSBLPKQ/unsplash-image-w1dYzfBctLc.jpg Home - What We Do - Social Services Navigation Support Trying to navigate the bureaucracy can be a lot. Mission to the Margins helps people access and navigate social supports and services. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1646682960309-YAXJ8KA3HCKUQ1EWBYQX/unsplash-image-70HRUm5TKj0.jpg Home - What We Do - Bible Study/ Discussion Groups We live among a community highly suspicious of the trustworthiness of the Bible as God’s revealed Word. At Mission to the Margins we believe that, because we can be confident that we have the original text of the Bible in the copies and translations we possess today because God has preserved those writings, therefore we hold to and teach the unique authority and complete truthfulness of the Bible. Twice each week we offer Bible study discussion groups, designed to be casual and conversational while still ultimately sitting under the Word of God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/4ee037ad-dec9-407f-8b1e-b77c78e8bb13/calgary-drop-in-centre.jpg Home - What We Do - Gathering Place Outreach One of the best first steps in local outreach ministry: join one of our teams doing Gathering Place Outreach. We pray together, serve together, make friends with guests from the community, eat together, and serve through the tangible mercy ministries onsite … we make it a place to belong; for the last, the least, the lost. Mission to the Margins is cross-cultural ministry right at home.

We provide everything a person needs to leave with a clean load of laundry. This is the church being that peculiar aroma in the lives of folks walking through deserts and valleys. Mission to the Margins partners with churches and ministries to see the poor engage with the gospel and the church engage with the poor. We can always use the help of volunteers from local churches. Come Join! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622249d9c212f844a3452907/1649297743480-YUWNVBRPH7S0VSQWRKZ9/unsplash-image-Fsp4YiX6Yuk.jpg Home - What We Do - Shower Facilities Currently the one and only place in Cambridge where a homeless person or someone living in their vehicle or in some other precarious form of housing can reliably expect to take a shower is at our Gathering Place Outreach and our ministry partners Urban Hope. What an honour to bless our community in this way and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Mission to the Margins is cross-cultural ministry right at home. To bring the presence of Christ where it is least expected. Join us!
