Outreach Van Program
Our Mobile Outreach Van is a unique service in the City of Barrie and area. It allows our workers to connect with those experiencing or those at imminent homelessness where they are at while breaking down barriers for those who may not feel comfortable with traditional methods of accessing care to develop ongoing relationships. We assist with information and provide individual advocacy, resources, referrals, as well as short-term and long-term support to individuals living on the street. We are on the road seven days a week. We have distributed food, water, clothing and other supplies to up to 140 people a night.
Our Outreach Van provides people with:
- Basic needs
- Blankets and clothing
- Harm reduction supplies
- Brief crisis counselling
- Advocacy support
- Community referrals
