The Life Boat resource centre

The Life Boat Resource Centre is a safe place for the homeless. Once they have a voucher from you - they can come and exchange the voucher for a meal, a service (hair cut, eye test for example) or a clean change of clothing.
The object of this place is to create a safe place where these vulnerable people can connect and be seen and treated with dignity.
Meals are served at a table and trained staff and volunteers will be connecting with the people who come by.
When a ship is sinking, a life boat is what gets those aboard to a place of safety. That is why we have called this the "Life Boat;" it's not meant to be the end, but a bridge to help find meaningful help and dry land for those who need it.
The Life Boat at 7 Levy Street offers a wide range of services for intentional support of the homeless. From a Bible study, Narcotics Anonymous meetings, to a medical clinic and counselling facility.
If you would like to volunteer at the Life Boat, please get in touch. We are always looking for ways to help and your talent or skill might be just what we need!
