About Us

Friendship House is a Christian non-denominational charity serving the Brantford community since 1997.

Who We Are

Friendship House is a Christian non-denominational charity organization. We are not government or church run; instead, we operate under the direction of God.

Ours doors first opened in 1997. We rely on donations (monetary, food, clothing, etc.) and volunteers to keep our doors open. We operate from Monday through Friday.

As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we follow His example to the best of our ability. All our services are FREE.
