Homelessness is not just a problem in bigger cities. The problem exists in St Thomas and Elgin County as well. There are many local agencies that offer support to the homeless, but for a variety of reasons the homeless cannot always go to these agencies. The lack of emergency shelter for men and women was a growing concern in our community. Before the creation of The Inn there were no emergency shelters for adults 18 and up in St. Thomas and all of Elgin County. The lack of emergency housing often results in people having to leave their employment or quit their schooling in order to find housing in our area. The Inn provides supplies such as shelter, hot meals, showers and clothing for up to 300 different individuals and families.
"This is an organization that the London chapter of the Canadian Motorcycle Cruisers have supported for several years. They do a great job in helping those in need."
