Our goal is to make a significant impact in our community by raising awareness of several social issues, including homelessness, hunger, and addiction.
One of the things we’re hoping to do is to bring in community leaders (i.e, people who run shelter homes, rehabilitation centres, or food banks) to share their first hand experiences on a particular social issue, and to then educate us on the best way we can support them. An example of this could involve deploying a team to volunteer with the organization for several days, or alternatively, organizing fundraisers to support the cause through monetary contributions or item donations.
We were motivated to develop this initiative in response to the significant rise in homelessness and other hardships experienced by Torontonians due to the recent increase in cost of living.
