​Christmas is Coming and We Need Your Help!

For over 40 years the Port Alberni Shelter Society has provided supportive housing and shelter for people in need. Serving as a gateway to stable housing and supportive services, the Port Alberni Shelter provides temporary accommodation and essential services designed to meet the immediate needs of people who are homeless. Many of our services are made possible through the generous donations we receive from our caring community and businesses of Port Alberni.

Now that the temperatures are dropping we are seeing a greater demand for our services. People who previously slept outdoors are now seeking shelter from the cold and wet. Although we have limited resources, we make an effort to accommodate everyone and with Christmas just around the corner, we are in greater need of your support. 

We hope that you will be able to join us in our winter donation campaign by dropping your donations off at The Port Alberni Shelter office, 3978-8th Ave (corner of 8th and Maitland). You can also donate online at https://www.canadahelps.org/dn/11481 Any support given is greatly appreciated by us and the people we provide a service to. If you have any question please feel free to contact the shelter at 250-723-6511
