Wayside Chapel's Journey of Compassion and Service

A History of Serving the Marginalized

Established in 1968 by Reverend Ted Noffs, Wayside Chapel has been a beacon of hope for those on the fringes of society. From its humble beginnings as a small soup kitchen to its current status as a comprehensive social service organization, Wayside Chapel has remained committed to serving the marginalized and vulnerable.

Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of poverty, homelessness, and addiction on individuals and families. It is this understanding that drives our mission to provide essential services, including food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare, to those in need.

Empowering Individuals Through Education and Employment

At Wayside Chapel, we believe that education is the key to unlocking potential. That's why we offer a range of programs aimed at empowering individuals through literacy, numeracy, and vocational training. Our goal is to equip people with the skills they need to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

We also recognize the importance of employment in restoring dignity and self-worth. As such, we provide job placement services, resume building workshops, and mentorship programs to help individuals secure stable employment and achieve financial independence.

A Community of Support and Belonging

Wayside Chapel is more than just a service provider – we are a community that values inclusivity, respect, and compassion. Our programs and services are designed to foster a sense of belonging among our clients, many of whom have been marginalized or excluded from society.

By providing a safe and welcoming space, we aim to break down social barriers and promote unity. We believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and valued, regardless of their background or circumstances.
