Maxwell Meighen Center

Hostel - A Home for Homeless Men

WE HAVE A PURPOSE

• The mission of The Salvation Army is to respond to human need wherever found.
• The Maxwell Meighen Centre is a residence for men. The staff serves God in meeting the needs of humanity.
• The Administration and staff of this Centre seek to demonstrate their devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ by treating men with respect and love.
• Men's basic needs include: the emotional, physical, social and spiritual aspects of the person.
• We seek to address these needs while we provide food, shelter, counselling, Pastoral Care, medical assistance and employment.
• Some residents do not want to accept charity, therefore pay a nominal fee for accommodation. The fees are as follows:
  • Private Room $308.00 per month.
  • Dormitory Bed
    • $ 70.00 per weekly
    • $ 10.00 per night
