**About 1JustCity**
1JustCity operates drop-in sites in three vulnerable Winnipeg neighborhoods: the West
End, West Broadway, and Osborne Village. In the winter months, we also operate an
Emergency Overnight Warming Shelter called Just a Warm Sleep.
We provide services to over 1200 unique individuals weekly and work with people living in poverty; experiencing homelessness or precarious housing, mental health issues and/or addiction, social isolation, oppression due to race or gender identity, and more.
Our programs include daily drop-ins, where guests are welcome for healthy meals, a cup of coffee, and social interaction. We also provide an Indigenous Cultural Program which gives accessible opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike to experience Indigenous culture and engage in concrete reconciliation action. We provide programs for guests to enhance their lives and resources to assist them in accessing the services they need.
Our work is grounded in relationships, and our drop-ins are places where people are known by name and are loved. While we provide for basic needs, we also strive to offer programs that are transformational and change lives for the better.
