History
The Old Brewery was founded in 1889 by two women, Mina Douglas and Eva Findlay, who started serving hot meals to Montrealers in need.
In the early 20th century, the Old Brewery Mission gradually evolved from a soup kitchen to a full homeless shelter.
In 1998, its women's shelter, the Patricia Mackenzie Pavilion was opened.
Today, the Old Brewery Mission offers a wide variety of services to its homeless clientele, including food, shelter, reintegration programs, and mental health services.{{cite web | url=https://www.missionoldbrewery.ca/en/about/our-story/ | title=125 Years of History }}
