Helping Those in Need

The eight core emergency services Souls Harbour Rescue Mission provides to the City of Regina, area, and province — Soup Kitchen, Women’s Emergency Shelter, Free Clothing Store, Shayil Home (a one year residency-based women’s addiction program for women and their children), Little Souls Daycare (a 60 space subsidized facility), Dean Smith Youth Centre, and Harbour House (a 30 unit affordable housing complex) — provide help, hope, and refuge to each one utilizing the services. 

The Mission could not do what it does without the generous support of donors and stakeholders. The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation shares as one of these benefactors, contributing $47,000 in funds throughout the past year in support. 

Such largesse permits the preparation and serving of 200 meals on a daily, weekday basis at the Soup Kitchen to be carried on with consistency and nutritional quality. The bigger picture to which some of the funds received were seeded to derives from a decision taken by the Board of Directors in the fall of 2013 to construct a new facility to house, among multiple facets of the Mission’s emergency services, the Food Program to replace the near century old building currently being used. The Samaritan Project, as this new build has been dubbed, will combine the Soup Kitchen, Men’s Emergency Shelter, Free Clothing Store, Maintenance and Operations, and long term Men’s Transitional Housing under one roof. This proposed fully integrated LEED project will advance and anchor Souls Harbour Rescue Mission’s mandate moving forward through the 21st century. 

Since opening its doors in 1990, Souls Harbour Rescue Mission has served more than 1,500,000 meals, gave away more than 300,000 pieces of clothing and provided in excess of 55,000 nights of emergency shelter. In addition, those participating in the addictions programs have received more than 50,000 hours of class time and over 1800 counseling sessions. 

For Souls Harbour Rescue Mission to fulfill its mandate, the participation and provision received through the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation is deeply valued. Thank you.
