Good place to have a coffee and chill and get referrals for resource help
Unreliable to the point of absurdity.
The staff here are great, but the leadership is awful. This place is closed WITHOUT WARNING so often it isn't worth going at all since it is such a dice roll. Sometimes MULTIPLE days per week you journey through the Canada weather to get there and realise that they are again closed WITHOUT WARNING when you see a group of guys sitting outside who also came and found them closed WITHOUT WARNING yet again and hanging out before the journey back.
The schedules on the website and Google are often both different and BOTH wrong, go to the Facebook page for the schedule an employee updates herself. If they didn't close WITHOUT WARNING so often the Facebook one could be considered reliable enough, at least, but most of us find out after wasting time learning the hard way that the Google and website schedules are BOTH wrong and just left like that.
The manager's policy of forcing everyone out into the weather twice per day for an hour each time means you need to schedule your day around it, and have to consider that you'll be forced out soon after getting there. That's if they aren't closed WITHOUT WARNING again, that is.
I fail to understand why a cleaner needs everyone to go into the cold or rain in order to pass a cloth across the table without just asking us to move our arms instead. Nobody else has an uncaring policy like this
A place so unreliable as 507 NEEDS to provide a way to find out DAY BY DAY if they are open or not. Until then, they are screwing people who are counting on them and who trek there through the weather only yo discover at the door that they are yet again closed WITHOUT WARNING.

Danielle was an absolute god send. She helped me complete an online program application and was so friendly and helpful. It really made the difference on a seemingly hopeless night. The world really needs more people like her.. the kind of person who shows respect and empathy to those in crisis. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DANIELLE!
One of the current staples for low income people to get a coffee & a bite to eat. You can even socialize here, and they have various things on a monthly basis. The staff and patrons are all decent people who come from all walks of life.
Free food and coffee / tea. People are generally nice and accommodating. Except this one somalian guy on a trash broken bycicle tried to assault me.
I went to have some clothes sewn last Sunday at 507. The sewing lady( Phoebe) is very good!
Workers are wonderful, very caring and helpful. Food is served right to the table. Decent breakfast, great lunches.
