Stratford Connection Centre

Stratford Connection Centre Stratford Connections is a partnership between CMHA Huron Perth, United Way Perth-Huron, City of Stratford and Stratford Police.

The Connection Centre is place-based intervention for individuals experiencing significant challenges, including but not limited to poverty, homelessness, addictions and mental health, all in one location in downtown Stratford.

519-271-6819 ext 405 Our goals are to:

· Meet basic needs. A place to use a washroom and shower. Have a cup of coffee with access to clean water, and/or an indoor space o

ut of the cold or heat.

· Build social ties. Build trust with service providers and volunteers, leading to opportunities for more formal supports.

· Connect to social services. Volunteers and staff can help clients navigate entry into formal support with existing agencies.

· Build pathways out of poverty that provide dignity and choice, empowering clients.

Behind every Connection Centre visit is a moment of care, compassion, and connection 💙

In this video, two of our long-time volunteers share what it means to be part of the Stratford Connection Centre — and the impact that showing up for others can have.

From supporting individuals experiencing homelessness to helping people navigate housing, health, and community services, our Connection Centre is built on connection — and volunteers are a big part of that.

Thank you to our incredible volunteers, and to United Way Perth-Huron for helping share these stories.
