Huron Out of the Cold - Hearts to Home
Offering warmth from the cold..

Lakeshore United has hosted the shelter for 4 years. 
Huron Out of the Cold is now ready to move on to a new form of housing....

For the 2023/24 season, the shelter is no longer in the Lakeshore United Church building.
​This year, guests will be offered housing using a motel model.

“This model provides the ability for guests to be sheltered 24/7, which provides more stability and therefore they can engage in more housing specific work.”

Our Mission:  "With Christ as our Guide, we are called to be an inclusive, progressive faith family, to worship God, nurture our community and serve the wider world."
Statement of Intention: 
  • We are intent on making Lakeshore United Church a broader reflection of God’s vision for creation, to be a safer haven for all seeking peace, justice, affirmation, acceptance, and equality.
  • We are a people who celebrate differences and accept them as gifts; in a place where new ideas are embraced, rather than feared, as we learn to expand our hearts and open our minds so that all are welcome.
  • We are called to be a part of a ministry that welcomes and includes all, honours the gifts of each, and recognizes that all receive God’s abundant grace.
  • We affirm that this includes full participation of persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, races, abilities, ages, economic circumstances, ethnic and faith backgrounds in the life and work of the ministry.
  • Jesus reached out to all people, honouring all in their diversity.  We celebrate the richness this brings to Lakeshore United Church.
