Welcome Inn Community Centre of Hamilton is a special place in the heart of Hamilton's North End. Here people are welcomed, celebrated and empowered to give as well as receive. Since 1966, the poverty of loneliness and exclusion has been overcome with friendship and compassion. At Welcome Inn, we practice community as a two-way street; join in learning and contributing to build inclusive and resilient community!

Last week, thanks to the generosity of community partners, churches, organizations, volunteers, and individual donors, Welcome Inn Food Bank was able to provide families with special Thanksgiving items alongside their regular groceries.

From turkeys and stuffing to gravy, squash, potatoes, desserts, fresh produce, pet food, and everyday essentials, these contributions helped make holiday celebrations a little brighter for local families.

A special thank you to Hamilton Food Share, Food for Life, United Way, Dundas Rotary Club, the Mennonite Church Community Garden, HBSPCA, Parkview Church, St. Patrick's, Stoney Creek Food Bank, and the many individual donors who helped make this possible.

We can’t stop thinking about last Saturday’s event ❤️

On Saturday, October 3rd, our community showed up in a big way!

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, volunteered, sponsored, and cheered us on at Walking WELL Together 2026.

Together, we raised over $27,100 to support Welcome Inn's essential programs and services, including our food bank, children's programs, seniors supports, and settlement services.

We're incredibly grateful to our event sponsors: Allencliffe, The O'Reilly Group, Marz Homes, Mulberry Wellness, James Street Cannabis Co., Synonym, Grandad's Donuts, Fishers Pier 4 Pub, Food Basics, and Studio Zee.

A special thank you to Hamilton Food Share for their ongoing partnership and significant investment toward replacing Welcome Inn's aging food bank truck. Their support is helping us strengthen food access across our community.

We were also grateful to welcome MPP Robin Lennox, who joined us to help kick off the day and share in celebrating the incredible work happening at Welcome Inn.

Thank you to our Fundraising Committee, volunteers, staff, and every participant who helped make this event a success.

When a community comes together, incredible things happen. Thank you for walking WELL together. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️💚

We are looking for Team Leaders for this year's Walking WELL Together 5k! We would love to have you join the fun! On Saturday, October 3, everyone will be enjoying a 5km walk along Hamilton's waterfront. Team Leaders play a unique roll: It's their job to find 5-6 other walkers to join them. Together, they all register on the fundraising platform and try to raise at least $100 each from family and friends. Every dollar raised will help Welcome Inn replace our aging food bank truck and support our many programs! If you want to be a Team Leader, email us at [email protected].
