The Huron Out of the Cold Emergency overnight shelter began as a project demonstrating co-operation and collaboration between Huron County Social and Property Services, the Salvation Army, Lakeshore United Church and the Goderich Ministerial (an organization of Christian churches in the town of Goderich). For 2.5 years these partners planned and worked together to provide a warm meal and warm bed to those individuals who are experiencing homelessness. All the partners recognized that homelessness was a reality in the County for several years, whether it was obvious or not. Thanks to the generosity of the partners and the wider community the Shelter opened its doors on January 20, 2017, and continues for the current cold season. In the 2017/18 Cold season, Huron Out of the Cold was administered by the Salvation Army, Goderich and hosted by Lakeshore United Church, Guests of the Shelter are welcomed each night. Working with social service agencies, Guests are offered the opportunity to connect to resources that can assist them in getting permanent housing or accessing other services they may need to address their needs.
For the 2018/19 and 2019/20 Cold Season, the Huron out of the Cold program has been hosted at the Salvation Army Church, 303 Suncoast Dr. East, Goderich, in partnership with the County of Huron and the Salvation Army.
