Oak Table Inc., located in Winnipeg, provides a community of compassion and hope, a caring place for those who are homeless, income insecure, on social assistance, living with mental health issues and physical disabilities, as well as people with addictions or going through difficult life transitions.

Monday to Thursday, 90-150 people attend Oak Table. Most come for their only substantial meal of the day, to feel part of a community, to share in conversation, to tell their story, and to be treated with respect. For many, Oak Table is their one place to belong.  

Osborne Village, where the Oak Table is situated has the highest density of income insecure people in Canada. Oak Table Inc. provides those in need with a reprieve from these difficult issues. We provide hygiene and clothing items, a caring team of listeners, access to newspapers, haircuts, telephones, computers and email, referral and advocacy support. Other programs include Art, access to nursing supports, haircuts and foot care, and seasonal celebrations.

Those who are isolated, under-served, and under-loved feel part of a community at Oak Table.
