Goals

Our long-term vision is to secure a larger, accessible space that can accommodate the increasing number of participants and the programs we offer them.

In the short-term, your donation will help us with the following needs:

1. Continuing to run our programs to allow more precariously housed folx, seniors, families and their children, Indigenous and other BIPOC groups, newcomers and refugees access nutrition, education and skill building opportunities, and community connection.

2. Health/wellness activities, including yoga, and kids’ physical literacy programming.

3. Cultural initiatives, including Reconciliation initiatives and cultural community celebrations.

4. Space improvements, including workspace upgrade, improved ergonomics and storage.

5. Communications improvements such as social media management and newsletter publication.

6. IT improvements, including new computers for staff to do their work, IT support costs and training staff to improve their IT skills.

7. Operational expenses such as staffing costs, janitorial expenses, rent and utilities. Help us keep the lights on!
