The Campaign for The Night Ministry
Total Amount Needed: $8,714,005
Funds raised as of January 9, 2021
The Campaign for The Night Ministry recognizes four elements for success
Capital for Move to and Improvements of 1735 North Ashland for The Crib, Health Outreach Bus Program, and The Night Ministry's Central Office
The relocation of The Crib, our overnight shelter for young adults experiencing homelessness, to 1735 North Ashland addresses facility concerns faced by the program in its original location. The new space features separate sleeping, dining, and recreation areas, multiple private washrooms and showers, and more, providing a more dignified experience for the program's guests.
1735 North Ashland serves as the new home for The Night Ministry's Health Outreach Bus, uniting the Bus with the Outreach & Health Ministry staff in the same location for the first time in the program's 32-year history. A dedicated loading dock and strategic access to donation and supply storage at the new location are improving the Bus program's efficiency.
The Night Ministry's central administration has relocated to 1735 North Ashland, accomodating expanded operational needs that have come with growth in programs and staff over the last two decades. The new building features technology upgrades, collaborative working spaces, and increased capacity to host staff, volunteers, board meetings, and more while providing options for future growth.
