A Place Where People Belong

The Gate is a drop-in centre welcoming people aged 26 and above, of differing cultures and life situations. Many patrons affectionately refer to The Gate as their "home."

Our History

What We Do

We are an outreach centre in Oshawa, ON for individuals experiencing homelessness. Our centre attracts people of all ages, cultures, and life situations.

Drop-In Shelter

Our centre is a safe and welcoming place for all individuals. We are a Christian organization and seek to reflect God's love to all who enter our doors.

Basic Provisions

We provide clients with the basic necessities they may be lacking, including food, water, clothing, and shelter.

Medical Services

Clients have access to several healthcare services, including basic healthcare, and foot care.

At The Gate we aspire to be the hands and feet of Jesus, and a light in our community.
Watch the video below for a glimpse of who we are through the eyes of those we serve.

The Gate treats you like family. They are good people from God and they feed you twice a day.

Come for the hype – stay for the sincerity.

Johnny

I’ve been coming here for over 5 years. If I need anything like socks or clothes – they have been there for me. If I need to talk to someone – they are there, oh and food and laundry too.
