Education and Programs
Daytime initiatives at NightShift in Surrey
We are continually expanding our Education mission to include new programs and support groups to meet emotional, spiritual and practical needs of people in our community. Our programs welcome people in off the street to take advantage of care services and our Resource Centre is open daily (Mon-Fri) to offer one-on-one support to anyone in need.
Over to you
Welcome Centre DROP-IN
Launched during COVID and building strongly ever since, this program provides an opportunity for people in the community to come by on weekday afternoons to connect, chat, access support and engage with NightShift volunteers and each other. Our DROP-IN days are Mondays through Fridays, from 2-4 pm. Warm up over a cup of hot chocolate or grab a cool drink when the temperatures are rising, and make new connections over a game of chess. Try your hand at drawing or painting or whatever our art supplies can inspire.
Monthly Movie Tuesday
Join us for a movie on the third Tuesday of the month (5-7 pm) and enjoy treats such as popcorn and root beer floats!
Care Programs
Foot Care is provided by specialized foot care RNs as available, typically first Friday of the month. Contact us for information.
Hair Cuts are offered for free, now in Langley on the first Monday, and in Surrey on the third Monday of the month (6:30-8:30 pm).
Hearing Care is offered bimonthly in Surrey. Contact us for information.
Vision Care is offered a couple of times a year, both in Langley and Surrey. Contact us for information.
Currently on hold are our Selah Women’s Events, to celebrate special days such as Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day. We look forward to bringing back the special pampering with makeovers, wellness treats and love.
Resource Centre
No matter what somebody’s situation might look like, the NightShift Resource Centre offers opportunity for empowerment by accessing available community resources. The Resource Centre aims to assist anyone and everyone, regardless of financial status, spiritual beliefs or personal circumstance.
Available by appointment only. Contact us for information.
Recovery
En Route is a lower barrier series of trauma-informed classes based on the core curriculum of RE:ACT. Drop-in sessions will take place (time tbc) to create awareness and to encourage participants to make small steps toward pursuing change in their lives.
Bible Study
We have been facilitating a Bible Study since 2012. Designed to bring hope and love to all people who feel life is overwhelming and hopeless, and share how they are loved unconditionally by God! Two groups currently offer sessions: on Wednesdays (7:30-8:30 pm) and Saturdays (9-11 am).
Church Services on Sundays
Two services now take place in our Education Room on Sundays, with Bridges Ministry offering a hot lunch and sharing a gospel message (11-2 pm), and Club Freedom providing an evening service (6-7 pm).
Alpha – Street Edition
ALPHA is for anyone interested in exploring the meaning of life. In a friendly and casual setting, meet new friends over dinner, learn about intriguing topics of the Christian faith and join in the discussion. We will post the dates of our three-month program as these become available.
“You have all made such a difference in my life. Maggie has changed the way I do my art…. It is so much better now! And, you just remembering my name, means so much. I am struggling through some big health concerns right now and this place means so much to me. The atmosphere is different here.” Jim
