The Windsor Downtown Mission is a Christian, faith-based nonprofit organization serving individuals and families experiencing poverty and homelessness. Founded in 1972 as a small coffee program called the “Open Door Lounge,” it has grown into a community organization offering emergency shelter, meals, food support, and a range of services designed to provide hope, care, and practical assistance. The Mission focuses on compassion, dignity, and advocacy, supporting men, women, and children through difficult life circumstances while helping them move toward stability and renewed hope.
