Scott Mission is a Christian ministry of mercy and love. It aims to meet the needs of people with love and compassion and seeks to bring spiritual, physical, and emotional wholeness to their lives.  Our Vision Prayer is Poverty in full retreat, flourishing for all, in Toronto and beyond.

Scott Mission was founded in 1941 by Rev. Morris and Mrs. Annie Zeidman as a non-denominational Christian organization responding to the needs of the poor, homeless, abandoned and vulnerable of all ages. Based in Toronto, the Mission offers practical, emotional and spiritual support to thousands of people every year.

While religious belief and practice are never conditions for receiving help and assistance, and everyone is welcome regardless of faith background, The Scott Mission is committed to the spiritual well-being of all people through the life and witness of Jesus Christ Their hope is for everyone to have a personal relationship with Jesus, and to express this relationship in a life of integrity and in acts of compassion toward others.

The Mission is privately funded and employs over 160 dedicated staff at 502 Spadina Road, Family Centre in East York, Collingwood Retreat Centre, Summer Camp in Caledon as well as our newest location, the Hub, due to open late spring 2023 at 5 McLachlan Drive, Etobicoke. While initially located at 502 Spadina Road, the position of Campaign Officer, Philanthropy, will move to the Hub when it opens https://scottmission.com/2022/11/24/our-new-hub/

Building on the vision of its founders, Scott Mission has remained Christ-centred in all its programs and services. It was Morris and Annie Zeidman’s belief that the hunger of the soul needed to be addressed as well as the hunger of the physical body. Our various ministries offer support and provisions for the homeless, low-income families, and children and youth.
