We offer a safe & supportive environment where those who are marginalized and/or homeless can experience community to its fullest.

Since October 1985, the St-James Drop-In Centre in downtown Montreal has catered to people struggling with issues related to homelessness, mental illness and addiction. The Centre offers basic services such as hot nutritious meals, access to showers, and clean clothes. We also provide counselling, crisis intervention, monitoring of medication and assistance with welfare. We help find housing, accompany people to medical appointments and liaise with outside agencies such as legal services, hospitals, rehabilitation programs, shelters, (etc). Since 2012, we also run an employment reintegration program called Streetsuds (http://streetsuds.org/). The Drop-In takes part in Emploi Québec’s employment program: PAAS-Action, a provincial government-subsidized program that gently reintegrates participants into the workforce. Capable users of the Centre are given the opportunity to develop their social and work skills with part-time employment at St-James & at Streetsuds. The Centre also serves as a teaching facility, by offering internship positions to social services students from Dawson College, Cégep du Vieux-Montreal, from various colleges in France (etc) and fine arts students at Concordia University. Individuals using the Centre have a large amount of freedom in deciding how they wish to spend their day. They can chat with other members or staff, receive help with an immediate problem, sleep, watch television, use the telephone, help with meal preparation, play board games or participate in the many programs that St-James offers: poetry, art, music, and more. The St-James Centre creates an environment where its members feel safe and comfortable in a community where they can have their physical and mental needs addressed. The Drop-In tries to provide genuine acceptance with individually-tailored programs seeking to enhance the quality of life and unwavering advocacy and representation. The bonds of warmth and affection among members are remarkable. There is a real sense of family that comes from spend
ing so much time with the same people and it is the kindness, support and help that members, volunteers, and staff extend to each other that allow us all to make the St-James Drop-In Centre a place where people can truly feel “at home”.

Today we gathered to share a meal together and to take a moment to be grateful for what we have built: community and a sense of belonging. When a member travels all the way from Lachute and a former staff member travels from Laval to visit and an old intern joins in the fun - you know that you are a part of something special. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Shout out to our chef Mark Coldham for preparing a fabulous, traditional Thanksgiving meal for us! 🦃

Aujourd’hui, on s’est réunis pour partager un bon repas ensemble et prendre un moment pour apprécier tout ce qu’on a bâti : une communauté, un sentiment d’appartenance.
Quand un membre fait tout le chemin depuis Lachute et qu’un ancien membre de l’équipe vient nous rendre visite depuis Laval, on sait qu’on fait partie de quelque chose de vraiment spécial.
Joyeuse Action de grâce à tout le monde ! 🍂🧡

Un hommage à nos membres 💙

Merci pour votre honnêteté et votre regard authentique sur le monde qui vous entoure. Pour votre gentillesse, même dans les moments difficiles. Pour les moments de folie auxquels vous participez, même quand ça ne va pas.

Merci de nous rappeler d’être patients et que chacun avance à son propre rythme. Et merci d’accueillir toutes les personnes qui franchissent nos portes — étudiant·es, bénévoles, familles et ami·es.

Vous êtes le coeur de St-James. 🫶

An Ode to our Members 💙

Thank you for your honesty and your unfiltered view of the world around you. For the kindness you show, even when you’re discouraged. For joining in the silly moments, even when you’re having a hard day.

Thank you for reminding us to be patient, and that everyone has their own path to walk. And thank you for welcoming everyone who walks through our doors — students, volunteers, family, and friends.

You are the heart of St-James. 🫶

Since 2020, we’ve been so fortunate to be connected with Christliche Dienste, a wonderful organization based in Germany. 💙

Through this beautiful partnership, we’ve had the joy of welcoming four incredible volunteers to our Drop-In over the past four years: Amelie, Karolina, Lena, and Jana. Each of them brought so much kindness, empathy, enthusiasm, and joy to our Drop-In and to our members. They each became a special part of our community, and we’re so grateful for the connections we’ve built along the way.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rahel, one of Christliche Dienste’s coordinators, who travelled all the way to Montreal to visit our Drop-In and help prepare for our next volunteer.

We’re so grateful for the people and partnerships that make our community stronger, near and far. Thank you, Rahel, and everyone at Christliche Dienste, for all the support you continue to bring to our little team. We’re so happy to have you as part of our community! 🫶
