Our programs
An initiative dedicated to providing the homeless and less fortunate with Survival Kits, which help provide warmth and essential supplies needed for survival on the streets during the winter.
Learn our storyA program we ran in response to the inexcusable fact that more homeless people die from dehydration in the summer months than from exposure in the winter months.

From the front lines
Thanks very much for the sleeping bags and winter survival kits. They will make a meaningful difference for our unhoused community members.
After making two trips to fit 40 survival kits and 40 sleeping bags in my tiny hatchback, there are already several guys out on the streets of Toronto this morning with warmer hands, necks and heads.
Thank you for the kits. We went out the next day to hand out to our homeless friends.
