Director of Ministry at Scott

Lead with Vision. Serve with Purpose. Transform Lives.

LOVE IS THE WAY to restoration, hope, and recovery. Since 1941, Scott Mission has been responding to the needs of individuals and families who face hunger and homelessness— offering practical, emotional, and spiritual support to love their neighbours across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Poverty in full retreat, flourishing for all, in Toronto and beyond.

Scott Mission supports and equips those who experience poverty to transition to a life of fullness in themselves, in their community, and in their Creator. To do so, they provide immediate and long-term resources that offer hope, healing, and transformation, while influencing, mobilizing, and supporting partners to work together towards this transformation.

Scott Mission serves those in need with love, dignity, and respect through a range of programs, including:

• Clothing & Food Bank
• Weekday Meal Provision
• Family Services
• Counseling
• Medical Aid
• Summer Camp
