Old Brewery Mission, Homeless support foundation in Montreal, Canada
The Old Brewery Mission is a support organization in Montreal that operates multiple facilities providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, and assistance for people experiencing homelessness. The main building on Clark Street offers comprehensive programs including job training, counseling, and mental health services.
The organization was founded in 1889 as a soup kitchen and moved to the former Williams Brewery building in 1891, marking a turning point in its ability to serve the community. This location became central to its growth and continues to anchor its operations today.
The Webster Pavilion for Men features a mural created by a local artist that reflects the role this place plays in supporting people experiencing homelessness in the city.
