Salem Mission

Once operating out of the Crombie Street Church, the Salem Mission operates a homeless shelter and serves three meals a day in this busy downtown location using the St. Mary's Italian Church campus which closed in 2003. In 2007, the Mission also converted an old rectory into 22 single-occupancy units for semi-independent living so the homeless can transition more easily into society when they are able.
