John Howard Society Sarnia Lambton is a charitable organization based in Sarnia, Ontario, classified by the CRA under community resource organizations.

In its fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, it reported $760K in revenue and $919K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
