Who relies on Good Shepherd Ministries?

Most clients are adult men. The number of women using our meal service is growing.

All of our clients suffer from poverty.

Many of our clients suffer from serious health conditions. The rate of heart disease, cancer, AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes, asthma, and many other ailments is higher among the homeless than in the general population.

The clients of Good Shepherd Ministries reflect Toronto’s ethnic diversity.
