Salvation Army Doubles Beds in Nanaimo

The Salvation Army in Nanaimo is set to unveil a major expansion of its New Hope Centre, doubling shelter capacity to 68 beds and adding a full commercial kitchen, dining hall, and new programming spaces. This $2 million project, expected to open soon, will also introduce a new emergency food truck to nearly double daily meal distribution. With over 570 people experiencing homelessness in Nanaimo alone, the expansion offers more than shelter—it’s a hub for dignity, meals, and recovery, helping guests like Troy Myers rebuild their lives while programs like Pathways to Hope provide critical support.
