Welcome Inn is a dynamic community centre that dares to imagine that there is a different and more vibrant path forward for ALL members of our community! Together with community members, Welcome Inn Community Centre works to alleviate poverty, loneliness and marginalization—challenges that our community members face on a daily basis—by offering supportive relationships, promoting wellness and providing capacity-building opportunities. Since 1966, we have walked alongside those experiencing poverty in Hamilton’s north end. Our community centre currently has five program areas: Children's Programs, Seniors’ Programs, Food Access Initiatives, Community Programs and Social Enterprise Initiatives. All five program areas are designed to impact dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, social, financial, intellectual, occupational, environmental and spiritual wellness. Throughout Welcome Inn’s 54 years of operations, our programs have been shaped by our asset-based community development framework, and community members have been integral to the planning and implementation of our programming.
