4worldlovers: St. Matthew’s House (SMH) began in 1964 as a storefront ministry called The Compass to help residents of Hamilton’s north end. It formed as an outreach program of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara. It has now grown into a charitable, non-profit multi-service agency located on Barton Street between Victoria and Wentworth.

Our vision is to provide hope and support for people to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives.

The 412 Barton project will see the property at 412 Barton will be converted to 12 deeply affordable units. They are intended for seniors facing homelessness, with a special focus on Indigenous and Black older adults 55+, designating 50% of the units for women.

4worldlovers: CityKidz was founded on a big dream to see a future free of child poverty; a future where all children have equal opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Through faith, hope and love, we seek to transform lives and end child poverty, one child at a time.

The stresses and deprivations of poverty affect children in their homes, their schools, their communities, and their hearts.

Poverty denies opportunities and undermines childhood development in ways that put children at a disadvantage in so many critical aspects of their lives. It makes it difficult for them to achieve their full potential and break the cycle of poverty for future generations.

Children who grow up and remain in poverty have a lifespan up to 20 years shorter than their middle-class peers

What started in Hamilton as a weekend drop-in session for a few dozen kids has grown into multiple programs serving thousands of children and youth of all ages.

CityKidz programs are a stable force of love and support for kids from before they can read until well after they’ve written their final high school exams. We teach our kids that they matter, that they are loved, and that they can change their future – and with it, the world.

Nourish hungry kids every month through our Meal Kit and lunch program.

Given to our program graduates to help finance their post-secondary education.
