Everyone deserves
a place to land.

Tonight, 214 of our neighbours have nowhere safe to sleep. Open Harbor keeps the doors open, the kitchen running, and the path back within reach.

Your gift, tonight

Small money,
moved quickly.

We don't hold donations for a rainy day — it's already raining. Gifts made today are spent this week on beds, food, and case workers.

87¢ of every dollar reaches programs directly. Our overhead is published every quarter, line by line.
Monthly giving is the backbone. It lets us sign a lease, hire a case worker, and promise a bed next month.

What we run

Four doors,
all of them open.

Emergency Shelter

64 beds, open every night of the year. No sobriety test, no ID requirement, no wait list after 6pm.

18,940 nights last year

The Kitchen

Three hot meals daily, served at tables with plates and cutlery. Anyone may sit down; nobody is asked to explain why.

41,200 meals last year

Case Work

One worker, one person, as long as it takes. Documents, benefits, treatment, housing applications, court dates.

312 housed last year

Second Chances

Paid work in our kitchen and warehouse for people coming out of shelter — a reference, a payslip, a routine.

Where it goes

Open books,
open harbor.
