With the kind assistance of Mark Gibson, Chair of the Stewardship of the Environment Committee of the Diocese of Montreal, and the generous financial support of several donors, the Mile End Mission has taken another meaningful step toward sustainability.
We’re delighted to announce the installation of a York HH8 series cold-climate heat pump, replacing our aging gas-powered HVAC system.
This new green-energy solution will keep our Mission warm in the winter and cool in the summer and significantly reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. By lowering NOx and particulate emissions, it will also improve the overall air quality for everyone who walks through our doors. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mark for his guidance and expertise throughout this process.
For several years, the Mission has also been committed to recycling the used clothing we cannot sell in our Friperie. These items are shipped to communities in need around the world, ensuring they find a second life while reducing textile waste.
As we continue our work in the Mile End community, we are mindful that every action contributes to a healthier planet. Together, we are making a difference one step at a time.
ABOUT US
Mile End Community Mission is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization and community centre working with members of the community who have been marginalized by society for a variety of reasons. Our services are used by people of all ages, many of whom struggle with addiction, are in poverty and/or are homeless. We strive not only to help these people, but to empower them to help themselves.
