Haven Of Hope Ministry

What Haven Of Hope Ministry does

Haven Of Hope Ministry is the operating name of The Salvation Army Regina Community Church, a local ministry corps (nonprofit religious organization) in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The organization combines traditional Christian church programming (Sunday worship, Tuesday Bible study, music ministry, youth programs) with a broad portfolio of community social services including emergency food assistance, a mobile outreach program capable of serving 100 meals per hour, two thrift stores, residential services, and the 81-bed William Booth Special Care Home. It serves low-income individuals and families, the homeless, children and youth, seniors, women and men facing crisis, and newcomers in Regina, having operated in the community for 130 years (founded 1895).

The service offering is built around three pillars: emergency assistance (food bank, clothing vouchers, bed program, disaster services), residential services (Waterston Ministries comprising four facilities including a 40-suite apartment complex, plus the regulated William Booth Special Care Home), and seasonal/camp programs (Beaver Creek Camp, Backpacks for Kids, Christmas Assistance supporting 1,545 families and 3,600 children in 2024). The underlying technology stack is minimal and non-proprietary: a WordPress website, Cognito Forms for online program registration, and YouTube for livestream worship. No proprietary technology, AI/ML capability, or software platform is part of the offering.

The business model is donation-driven. Revenue streams include individual donations, community services donations, the annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, and proceeds from two thrift stores (Regina North Central and Glencairn) operated by Salvation Army National Recycling Operations. Most programs are provided free of charge; summer camps are priced at $260-$275 per registrant with subsidized rates of $60-$100 for qualifying families; the Backpacks for Kids program is fully free and sponsor-funded at $60 per student. The organization holds Registered Charity #10795 1618 RR 0229 and Imagine Canada accreditation, and is governed as a local ministry under the international Salvation Army territorial structure led by Territorial Commander Lee Graves.
