Education and Programs
Daytime and evening 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, our Resource Centre and so much more.
Over to you
COME INSIDE
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 (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!
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 to create awareness and to encourage participants to make small steps toward pursuing change in their lives. New dates to be announced in the New Year.
ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT
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.
Open Mondays-Fridays, one-on-one appointments available. Please book an appointment or contact us for information.
CARE PROGRAMS
Foot Care is provided by specialized foot care RNs as available, typically first Friday of the month. 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.
CHRISTIAN FAITH
Bible Study & Church Services
All of the services at NightShift are provided in the spirit of the Christian faith. Public worship and prayer is offered along with our evening outreach. In addition, we have been facilitating weekly bible study since 2012 and inside church services since the pandemic. 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!

- House of Grace lunch and Bible Study – Saturdays (11:15 am – 2 pm)
- Club Freedom Bible Study – Saturdays (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
