A devastating fire at the vacant ManWin Hotel on Main Street in Winnipeg has affected our unsheltered relatives and others who depend on services in the area.
The Main Street Project shelter is located next door—it has been displaced because of the fire.
Immediate support for our unsheltered relatives who access Main Street Project services is now urgent, especially in this cold weather.
The Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) is sharing information on how you can help.
Please consider donating warm winter clothing for people who rely on shelters and warming spaces.
Items such as warm jackets, toques/hats, mittens, scarves, socks, blankets, and other winter gear can make a real difference.
