The House of Lazarus is a community outreach mission that offers food, clothing, and household goods to those in need, serving not only HOL food bank clients, but those of neighbouring food banks as well. Our Giving Garden, which was expanded in 2016, provides fresh vegetables and herbs for our food bank clients, as well as for some of our programs and events.
House of Lazarus aspires to fill in the gaps in services and resources for residents in the surrounding communities when and wherever possible. Currently we host a free weekly community meal open to everyone on Thursday evenings from 4 to 7 pm. We have a Starting Over program that assists individuals and families who need help setting up a house after a traumatic event, such as a fire. In 2016, roughly 1,037 people were served through our outreach programs.
The Linking Hands program focuses entirely on addressing poverty issues in Dundas County.
Through events, programs, and information services, House of Lazarus is here to help its community in any way it can. House of Lazarus employs several local residents and offers an abundance of volunteer opportunities for all ages in its shops, as well as through its many events and programs. House of Lazarus' Thrift Shop and Household Goods Shop offer opportunities for everyone to find treasures at reasonable prices. The money generated goes back into the House of Lazarus, ensuring that our work continues.
