Lighthouse Mission is primarily a soup and sandwich kitchen, serving the immediate needs of Winnipeg's less fortunate. As a registered Canadian charity and Christian humanitarian agency, we partner with organizations, churches, businesses and individuals to provide emergency relief in the form of food, clothing, prayer, spiritual guidance, and friendship to the homeless, and otherwise less fortunate, inner-city community of Winnipeg, in such a manner that conveys the value of those in need.Lighthouse Mission is unique in that, everyone is welcomed through our doors. Whether or not our friends are high, drunk or have previously been violent with us, they are welcome at Lighthouse and to our services. We believe God's heart is most reflected in our unmeasured forgiveness, love and grace toward the broken, hurting, and desperate people who come to us for help.

This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments.'' Matt. 22:36-40The Great Commission: 'Jesus said, 'Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.''
