Siloam Mission

Life is about choices and choices are sometimes derived from ones opportunities in life.

Some time ago, my husband and I had the opportunity of volunteering at Winnipeg’s Siloam Mission. An organization we were familiar with, but not until we set foot into the four walls on Princess Street did we realize how special they really were.

The spoken word can certainly make a difference in one’s world, but how they are delivered is where the magic is. Upon following one of the volunteers through a guided tour of the facility, we became touched by how the story was unfolding. This was not purely an exchange of facts, but a heartfelt and passionate delivery of a belief system. A belief system committed to making a difference in the lives of people in need.

Step by step, we were witness to how this institution of love serves our homeless with dignity and respect. Raising the bar year after year by offering meal programs, shelter, medical services, and guidance through faith, Siloam stands alone in its ability to achieve this through the energy and time of volunteers.

Part Of The Family

Know one thing… that when you are privileged to have the opportunity to give your time and assist in a days work at Siloam, you become part of the family.

It has been our honour to have partnered with Siloam this season to run our first annual “Feed the Need“ food drive within our family owned business. Into its 4th week now, our response has been tremendous.

Our customers are excited to be part of such an initiative and have shown support with donations totaling 500 lbs of non-perishable food items to date.

Life is about choices…Siloam Mission has made one to assist and enable our homeless to sustain a life with opportunities. How beautiful is that?
