Good to know
Phone (519-344-1142), address (970 Confederation St N7S 1A1), email (cfs.sarnia@salvationarmy.ca) and the rent/utility/dental/medical/food assistance all confirmed on the Erie St. Clair Healthline service directory. The official salvationarmy.ca/sarnia page returns 404 (no stable program URL), so official_url points to the health-line directory. Medium confidence: details verified via a health-system directory, not a Salvation-Army-owned page; phone good as of this check but confirm before publishing. Slug prefixed with city.
