Toronto Star - Mission, and its volunteers, deliver Christmas dinner - Debra Black
For the past 30 years Elaine Rennie has performed a kind of Christmas
miracle, devoting her holiday to those less fortunate. Every year –
come snow or sleet – Rennie can be found in the Scott Mission kitchen
helping cook and serve the hungry and the homeless at the annual
Christmas Day lunch.

Toronto Sun - Scott Mission opens holiday doors
We are a Christian, non-denominational, faith-based street mission in downtown Toronto, serving the poor and needy of our city.
Our various ministries offer support and provisions for the homeless, low-income families, shut-ins and children and youth.
The Scott Mission is a Christian ministry of mercy and love. We aim to meet the needs of people with love and compassion and seek to bring physical, spiritual and emotional wholeness to their lives.
The Mission is privately funded and employs over 100 dedicated staff at 502 Spadina, the Collingwood Retreat Centre and our Summer Camp in Caledon.
Building on the vision of our founders Morris and Annie Zeidman, who began the work in 1941, we have remained Christ-centred in all our programs and services. It was their belief that the hunger of the soul needed to be addressed as well as the hunger of the physical body.
We trust that as you learn more about our story and the work we do, that you too will be blessed by seeing what the Lord has enabled us to do in His Name
