Siloam Mission has turned a large expense into a social enterprise opportunity.

Charles Enns is the Building Futures program manager at Siloam Mission in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Part of his duties involve managing a small commercial grade laundry social enterprise that is currently serving the internal needs of the Siloam shelter.

The Siloam Laundry shifted approximately $150,000 in laundry expenses from an external provider, into an internal opportunity for their community members to build up employable skills. Siloam is also considering how they might be able to take this laundry facility that they've created and start serving other businesses, social enterprises and non-profits within their neighborhood.
