Open 3 mornings a week, Thursdays for women and Mondays and Fridays for men, the shelter offers showers, laundry and changing facilities to help homeless people maintain their dignity despite their difficult living conditions.

On these mornings, volunteers take it in turns to prepare breakfast, do the washing and help people with their administrative formalities.

The serenity of the setting, which is conducive to talking and listening, enables the volunteers to study the needs of each person, direct them to the appropriate associations and, in some cases, offer them accommodation in the Village of St François Xavier.
