In partnership with the City of Nanaimo, we run a free shower program to anyone experiencing homelessness or unstable housing.
Toiletries (soap, shampoo, clean towel and facecloth, etc.) are provided for free. This program is supported with funding form the City of Nanaimo and the United Way administered Reaching Home program.
We are located at Caledonia Park, 110 Wall Street in the buildings on the south side of the park.
Hours: Monday to Friday 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Last shower starts at 11:30 AM. Closed on Statutory Holidays.
NFLA is proud to partner with Just Thrift, a locally owned thrift shop dedicated to supporting our community. Through this collaboration, NFLA clients in Nanaimo who are seeking housing, newly housed, or in need of essential items can receive free, no‑cost items (through our agency programs only) with this partnership.
Donations for NFLA programs — including shelters — can be dropped off during donation hours Tuesday to Saturday 10 – 3 at Unit #1, 4906 Wellington Rd.
Your support matters. If you are planning a drop off at a thrift shop please consider Just Thrift as that donation point. Together, we can help ensure that every individual has what they need to feel safe, supported, and at home.”
