The Drop-in Centre is open Monday to Friday, between 9:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. On Saturday we open from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. A hot lunch is available in our dining room from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturdays. Lunch is a stress free way for us to meet and interact with our clients whose problems we attempt to evaluate in order to help them. Emergency meals are also available during weekdays.

Every Saturday, except the first Saturday of each month, we have a free meal from noon to one thirty for homeless and needy people, happy times to not only enjoy a meal but to enjoy the company of others in a relaxed setting.

In emergency situations, we help families who are in need of food. They can come to the Mission and we will provide whatever we can to help them through a difficult period.

Four times a week volunteers from the Mission of the Great Shepherd arrive at the boundaries of Viger Park and Place Emilie Gamelin, in downtown Montreal, where they serve hot full meals on the street. We serve an average of 3000 meals per month.

Our reference and counselling service allows us to have direct contact with the participants whose problems we evaluate in order to better address their needs. The beneficiaries of this service encounter a listening ear, and whether their questions are moral, spiritual, legal, in regards to employment, etc. we are there to help as best we can. If necessary, we refer our clients to other agencies which are better equipped to meet their needs.
