Halloween at Miramichi Youth House 🎃

We have a great team who go above and beyond to make holidays a little more special… or scary 😂

Frank 🐈 would like to speak to management about the pumpkin on his head.

“Youth house helps fill the service void.”

A headline from 2001 and 2002 that still resonates today.

From Miramichi Youth House’s early days to the youth and adult services we now provide through Miramichi Housing Solutions Inc, our work has grown, and we continue to fill gaps in our community. ❤️

For privacy purposes, we’ll call her Miss Daisy.

Miss Daisy came to us this summer, through no fault of her own. She is in her 70s and now stays at our transitional house.

Look at this photo. The dresser, the flowers, the little lamp beside her bed. Maybe it reminds you of your mom’s room, or your nan’s.

Our staff helped Miss Daisy make this room feel like hers. These rooms are meant to be temporary, and we aren’t supposed to personalize them too much. But how can you not? When someone has lost the security of having their own home, those familiar things matter. Having a room that feels like you matters.

This is what experiencing homelessness can look like. A woman in her 70s who needs somewhere safe to stay.

At MHS, we have seen an influx of seniors over the past year, and it’s devastating. Our moms, dads, grandparents and neighbours deserve to grow older with a safe place to call home.

To our amazing resident support workers and shift leaders: thank you. You care for our folks every day, help them navigate resources, and make sure they are safe getting up and moving around. Supporting more seniors is new territory for us, and you continue to learn and adapt to meet their needs.

And somewhere in all of that, you took the time to help Miss Daisy make her room feel like hers. That care means more than you may realize. ❤️

Thank you to the United Way Miramichi Fund / Fonds Centraide Miramichi for supporting Miramichi Youth House and helping us share the importance of giving local. ❤️

Every young person deserves a safe place to land, someone in their corner, and the opportunity to move forward. Your support helps our team provide that care, connection, and encouragement to youth in our community.

When you give to the United Way Miramichi Fund, you’re supporting people and programs right here at home. We’re grateful to be part of a community that shows up for one another. 💙

A huge thank you to Rotary of Miramichi for their generous $5,000 donation to support food security at MHS! 💙

Our meal program provides multiple meals each day, helping to feed 40+ individuals daily, including shelter residents and community members experiencing food insecurity.

As the need continues to grow, support like this makes a tremendous difference.

Thank you, Rotary of Miramichi, for helping us ensure our community has access to nutritious food when they need it most. 💙

Rotary Club of Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada

At our club’s most recent meeting at Mikes Bar and Grill, we were delighted to present a cheque for $5,000 to Miramichi Housing Solutions Inc. for its Community Hub meal program.

In addition to its Miramichi Youth House and adult shelter facilities, the group also operates a Community Hub where anyone in the community experiencing food insecurity can access meals, support services, and connections to housing, healthcare, and other essential resources.

Every day, Miramichi Housing Solutions prepares and serves three hot meals to emergency shelter residents while also welcoming community members who need a warm meal and a safe place to connect with supports. The group also regularly helps seniors, people with disabilities, people living on low incomes, and those experiencing homelessness or crisis.

Demand for the meal program continues to grow, placing significant pressure on its food budget. Community partnerships such as the one with Rotary will help ensure that no one is turned away in a time of need.

The funds from Rotary will allow the group to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and protein products, dairy products, bread and bakery items, and pantry staples such as rice, pasta, canned goods, cereal, flour, and cooking oil, as well as breakfast goods, coffee, tea, beverages, and meal preparation supplies.

Presenting the cheque to Miramichi Housing Solutions associate director Melissa McEachern, left, and executive director Jory Geikie, second from right, are Rotarian Peggy McLean, second from left, and Rotarian Paula Savoy-Drillen.

A home in progress.

If you look closely at the centre of these photos, you’ll see something pretty special. A home. 🏠

This outdoor space at our shelter is being created by the very people who are staying here. They have been digging, raking, planting, laying stone and putting their own ideas and hard work into transforming what was once just an empty patch of ground.

And it’s not finished yet.

There’s something incredibly fitting about that.

A home taking shape, built by people who are working toward homes of their own.

Homelessness does not define a person. The people who come through our doors are creative, capable and talented. They want to contribute. They want to belong. They want to take pride in the place around them.

Sometimes progress looks like securing an apartment, getting a job or reconnecting with supports.

And sometimes it looks like a group of people standing outside together, creating something beautiful from the ground up. 🌱

A home in progress, in more ways than one.

We can’t wait to see what they create next. ❤️
