Manantial Neighbourhood Services Inc. (MNSI) is a non-profit charitable organization that provides crisis intervention and newcomer integration services to primarily Latin American immigrants (individuals and families) in the Downsview and surrounding area of Toronto, and in south Vaughan.

MNSI encourages individuals and families to further develop their life skills, and strives to increase their knowledge and awareness of the rights that all Canadians enjoy and the services available to them in the community.
