In the heart of Hamilton, live the poor and the marginalized. Many struggling with addiction and illness. Often homeless and helpless, with so many doors closed to them. There is one Door that is open, that welcomes them and feeds them hope. That is the De Mazenod Door, an Outreach program that provides food for the hungry and drink for the thirsty, 365 days a year.
Guests coming to the De Mazenod Door are treated with dignity and respect. It is our goal that every single visitor to our door walks away with a true sense of community.
Our ministry is solely supported through the generosity of people who want to make a difference in the lives of the poor and marginalized in our city. Donations are welcome!
Most Reverend Douglas Crosby, Bishop of the Diocese of Hamilton, was on hand to officially offer his blessings on the opening of the Door in 2016.
Volunteers and staff prepare a variety of hearty home-cooked meals daily. What is served depends wholly on the generous support of our donors and sponsors.
Guests line up for breakfast and coffee, then again for a hot nutritious lunch.
