SERVICE AREAS
Toronto and surrounding areas
When Morris and Annie Zeidman started The Scott Mission in 1941, they told themselves they would serve the needs of the most vulnerable in the community as long as God provided the means.
Now, after 78 years, it is evident that God has blessed the Mission in every way. The destitute continue to find food, shelter and clothing. The abandoned find the courage to forgive. The downcast find the strength to restore broken relationships and achieve their dreams. The lonely find the perfect friend in Jesus.
In addition, there are more than 100 staff and 2,500 volunteers who dedicate themselves to carrying on the Zeidman legacy of love and service.
